The 39th Annual Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival

Location

The Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival is one of the largest Festivals of its kind celebrating all that is sheep or wool related. With over 250 vendors, more than 1,000 sheep, and workshops, food, and entertainment, there is something for everyone. Check out the sheep dog or sheep shearing demonstrations, learn how to prepare lamb, take a spinning class, or shop for a variety of fleece, yarn and roving.

The Parade of Breeds will introduce you to a large variety of sheep breeds, and the Sheep to Shawl Contest will demonstrate shearing, carding, spinning, and weaving a final product in just a few hours. There are auctions and sales for sheep equipment, fiber equipment, and fleeces. You can get many new ideas from the beautiful products on display from our many competitions. It’s always the first full weekend in May.
