Eastern Shore Events | 08.01.25
Hello August. There’s a hush that settles over the Eastern Shore this time of year. The kind of hush that invites reflection, even in the midst of back-to-school buzz and beach days winding down. Gardens lean into their late summer bloom. Sunsets arrive just a little earlier, with a little more gold.
Whether you’re squeezing in one more trip, celebrating small holidays (hello, Ice Cream Sandwich Day 🍦), or just finding joy in the everyday, I hope this month holds space for what matters most to you.
Here’s what’s happening this week and what’s blooming on the blog ~
