Midsummer Gala (ADULT)

A most delightful Crab Feast Dinner and Dance!

Why drive all the way up to Baltimore for a crab feast when you can attend one right here at the pool with all of your friends and neighbors? Holmes Run Pool hosted its first crab feast around 2006 or so, the exact year is unknown it was so long ago. This community gathering was so enjoyed that it became an annual event and is now a longstanding tradition that members eagerly await every summer. In fact, it is such a well attended event that members are reputed to have put away up to 15 bushels of crabs!

On Saturday, August 10, all-you-can-eat Maryland Blue Crabs, steamed shrimp, BBQ chicken and ribs, sides, and dessert will be served along with beer and wine. After dinner, our local teens will put on an amazing DJ performance featuring beach music across the decades. They’ll take requests from those in attendance and will, as always, finish the evening with the song “Rock you like a hurricane.” So come join us for this midsummer’s feast and, once you’ve had your fill, dance the night away or swim by the light of the moon.

Weather Policy: As with any outdoor summer party, there is a chance that rain or storms will interrupt our event. Guests are welcome to bring popup canopies in case of rain. If there are storms, we will follow our standard policy of closing the facility until 30 minutes past the last sound of thunder. While there are no refunds for weather interruptions or cancellations, we will do everything we can to reopen and have a great evening, even if storms happen. We will also have “to go boxes” to take home your fill of food if need be.

Note to the General Membership: The picnic grounds, grills, playground, and all picnic decks will close to the general membership at 2:00 PM in order to set up for this event. The pools and pool decks remain open within regular operating hours.
