Talbot Day 2024
Introduction to Talbot Day
Talbot County prides itself in its heritage, with over 600 expansive miles of beautiful shoreline, and roots rich in history, culture, and tradition.
On April 19, 1983, the Talbot County Council unanimously approved a proclamation declaring April 25th to be the official birthday of Talbot County.
In 2023, the Council approved a proclamation to highlight April 25, 2023, as “Talbot Day” or the celebration of the county’s birthday, with hopes of reinvigorating the birthday tradition.
With Talbot Day, we aim to highlight our diverse community celebrating our citizens and the history of Talbot County. We anticipate this to be an annual celebration, falling on or about April 25th, the official birthday of Talbot County, each year.
Talbot Day 2024
For the 2024 Celebration, the County will host the following activities:
Talbot Day Poster Contest
The County Council asks residents (including school students) to create a poster that shares what makes Talbot County special. The 2024 Talbot Day Poster Contest must depict the theme: “What Talbot County Means to Me”. Talbot County Council members will serve as judges. Winning designs will be displayed on banners in downtown Easton, and artists will be invited to participate in the Talbot Day Celebration on April 25, 2024.
Submissions Closed
Talbot Citizen and Service Awards
The County Council asks residents to nominate their friends, family, and co-workers for the Talbot Citizen & Service Awards. These awards will honor the unsung heroes who help make Talbot County a better place to live, work, and visit. Any nominee must be a resident of Talbot County, volunteer their time in the county, and be over 18 years of age.
