Ring in 2025 – Don’t Miss the Crab Drop in Easton This New Year’s Eve

Share

What’s more fun than a New Year’s Eve ball drop in Times Square? A New Year’s Eve Crab Drop on Harrison Street in Easton, Maryland!

The annual First Night Talbot and Crab Drop is one of the Eastern Shore’s most popular events, where hundreds of spectators gather in Easton to watch the state’s favorite crustacean drop to celebrate the New Year.

Best of all, there are two drops scheduled for the night.  The first takes place at 9 p.m. with the second at midnight.  Children and families can enjoy games, a photo booth, kids crafts and activities, along with face painting, music and hot coco.

This ongoing New Year’s Eve tradition dates back to 1994, and news outlets like CNN and AAA Travel have covered the festivities. The event is sponsored by the Talbot Optimist Club and brought to you by Easton Economic Development Corporation and Union Baptist Church.

Find more details on the event here.
