WALDORF. Md. – The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs have announced their 2021 Fan Fest, scheduled for Saturday, May 22nd at Regency Furniture Stadium, running from 12-3 PM.

Gates will open at noon, at which time fans will be permitted to begin their tour of all the brand new sights, sounds, and smells that Regency Furniture Stadium has to offer.
