Nanticoke River Jamboree

Nanticoke River Jamboree
The Nanticoke River Jamboree — Dorchester County’s largest living history event — will be held at historic Handsell in Vienna, Maryland on Saturday, October 12, 10am to 5pm.
This fun-filled celebration for the whole family features performers and historical re-enactors, demonstrations, traditional 18th and 19th-century crafts, puppeteers and puppet-making, kite flying, Native American culture, musical entertainment, and food and refreshments.

You can also tour the Handsell house — open only a couple of times a year to the public until its restoration is complete. The Native American longhouse will also be open.

Admission is $4 per person; children under 12 are free. View the complete schedule of performances and exhibitors at www.nanticokeriverjamboree.com.
