Fays Marina BoatShop.com observes the Annapolis tradition of Celebrating Spring Equinox by burning of the Socks. In Annapolis, Maryland in the United States, boatyard employees and sailboat owners celebrate the spring equinox with the Burning Of The Socks festival. Traditionally, the boating community wears socks only during the winter. These are burned at the approach of warmer weather, which brings more customers and work to the area. Officially, nobody then wears socks until the next equinox. Come enjoy the bon-fire, Burning Cotton Socks (we'll provide if you forget!) and celebrate with Champagne, Wine, soda, H'oderves, petit canape, snacks with us - all to start the Spring Boating Season in tradition and style!
