Muskrat Festival Maryland 2025

Muskrat Festival Maryland 2025. The festival food will consist of exactly what it sounds like: Shooting muskrats is not permitted.

Experience the national outdoor show, an annual festival on maryland’s eastern shore that involves a muskrat skinning—and cooking—contest. Former beauty pageant winners wore sashes adorned with muskrat fur, volunteers stirred pots of stewed muskrat and competitors sharpened their knives, preparing to skin a muskrat in about 20 seconds.
