The Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival is one of the largest events of its kind, celebrating all that is sheep- or wool-related. In existence for more than 50 years, this popular festival attracts fiber artists and their fans, but it’s not just about sheep. You can also buy wool and yarn products from goats, angora rabbits, and alpaca; watch sheep shearing or sheepdog demonstrations; take a lesson in spinning wool; or check out a variety of fleeces, yarns, and roving. In the Sheep to Shawl Contest, teams will compete to shear a sheep, card and spin the fleece, and weave it into a shawl, all in three hours. Come join us for a fun-filled day! With 250+ vendors, more than 800 sheep, and workshops, food, and entertainment, there is something for everyone at this family-friendly festival. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Lunch is on your own. You can buy food from one of the many vendors or bring a picnic lunch. No alcohol available or permitted.
