New Year’s Eve in Talbot

New Years first night in Talbot.

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 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.  There are two crab drops offered, with the first at 9 p.m. and the second at midnight.
