Community Events & Performing Arts
The St. Michaels Community Center is committed to keeping the community spirit alive and well in St. Michaels and across the Bay Hundred Area by hosting numerous, community events and performing arts throughout the year.
Every summer, SMCC hosts a concert series for families and neighbors to enjoy in Muskrat Park. In the fall, our annual pumpkin pie baking context has created a healthy rivalry between local professional and home bakers, and our theatrical productions draw more than 1,500 patrons each year. In addition, many community activities promote family togetherness such as our Annual Family Shorebirds Game, Spring and Fall Neighborhood Block Parties, and Holiday Dinners at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
Many of these programs are funded in part by a grant from the Talbot County Arts Council, with revenues provided by the Maryland State Arts Council.
Other activities include participation in the Daffodil Day in March, hosting of a Holiday Dinner in April, a Spring Fling in May, and more.

"Fall Into St. Michaels" & Annual Pumpkin Pie Contest
Our annual Pumpkin Pie Contest is held during the "Fall Into St. Michaels" celebration and has created a healthy rivalry between local professionals and home bakers for the bragging rights to our Championship Award.
Community Theater
Community members ages 5 to 85 participate in our annual theatrical productions, which draw more than 1,500 patrons each year.
Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter Dinners
We're delighted to provide free holiday dinners for families and friends who otherwise would not enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas and/or Easter meals. Several of St. Michaels restaurants, markets and individuals support our dinner guests with donations of food, supplies and service.
Neighborhood Block Parties
Spring and Fall is when SMCC takes to the streets and hosts a good ol' fashioned street party and cookout for all of our neighbors and friends. Hot dogs, burgers, fries, chicken, salads, ice cream and desserts are as plentiful as laughter, games, fellowship and music. Everyone is welcome.
