Social Activities:
Turning this into a vacation? Exciting things are happening in Annapolis in October!
See why Annapolis has been called one of America's prettiest cities. Discover the historic charm of Anne Arundel County and the Chesapeake Bay region. https://www.visitannapolis.org/
The Maryland Rennfest is open both weekends of the SFTE Symposium, October 14-15 and 21-22. "Rennfest" is a short drive just outside Annapolis in Crownsville. https://rennfest.com/
Enjoy a sunset cruise on the Schooner Woodwind, departing most evenings, weather permitting, from the City Dock. https://www.schoonerwoodwind.com/
The US Sailboat Show will overlap the weekend before the SFTE Symposium, October 12-15. Wander the City Dock and maybe take home a sailboat (though it won’t fit in your luggage). https://www.annapolisboatshows.com/united-states-sailboat-show/
Enjoy a tour or pub crawl (haunted, or not) in the evenings. Tours depart from the Maryland Inn, just off Church Circle. This is a local company and their tours are great. October is the spooky season and the ghosts will be in attendance in one of the oldest cities in North America. https://toursandcrawls.com/
Navy plays Air Force at Navy Stadium on Saturday, 21 October. https://navysports.com/
