When to book in Annapolis

Late spring (May–June) and early fall (September–October) are Annapolis's peak, when the Bay weather is calmest and waterfront venues book out fastest. Plan on 12–14 months out for a Saturday. Watch two local pinch points: the Naval Academy's Commissioning Week in late May floods the city with visitors and hotel demand, and fall boat-show weekends (early-to-mid October) fill downtown and Eastport lodging well in advance.
