Thanks to everyone for posting about other events in MD. Most of them are not local if you live in one of the three Southern MD counties, though. Strictly speaking, there's really only the So MD Celtic Festival. Anne Arundel County is adjoining, however, and as others have pointed out that has the Irish and Scottish weekends at the RennFest as well as just the Scottish Festival.

I am still hoping to make the RennFest this year, but we are trying to synchronise with some friends, and we are not sure yet when they are going.

If it comes to that, Alexandria VA is also close to Southern MD, and I know they have a parade for St. Andrew's Day. I believe there is more than one St. Patrick's Day parade in the area as well.

Frederick and Garret County are a long way from here, though. Too far to get me to go there.
