PRINCE FREDERICK, Md. – The Calvert County Department of Parks & Recreation announced today that the annual Breezy Point Beach Blast Off event scheduled for Saturday, May 19, from 4:30 p.m. until dark, is cancelled due to the ongoing and predicted inclement weather conditions. As earlier advertised, the rain date will be Saturday, Sept. 15.

โ€œWe were all very much looking forward to this annual event and are very disappointed,โ€ said Parks & Recreation Director Shannon Nazzal. โ€œThe showers this week are predicted into this weekend and there is no way we can host an outdoor party with a live band and fireworks at this point.โ€

Breezy Point Beach and Campground is a favorite bay-front park featuring swimming, fishing, picnicking and seasonal and daily camping. When the weather clears, visitors are encouraged to bring the entire family for a fun-filled day at the public beach. Children will enjoy building sand castles, playing on the new playground or finding shark teeth at nearly every glance along the waterโ€™s edge. For fishing and crabbing enthusiasts, there is 200-foot fishing pier. It is the perfect getaway for day trips, a weekend away or a week-long escape.
