 The MRE Tug is The longest Tug of War over water in the world. The event is staged between the Maritime Republic of Eastport (The MRE) and Downtown Annapolis and features a 1700’ rope, over 350 tuggers, and more than 2,500 spectators. The Tug transforms Downtown Annapolis and Eastport into a festival-like atmosphere that includes live music, food vendors, cheering crowds, and all sorts of local color.

The MRE has raised more than $275,000 for local charities over the past thirteen years. Read more about the Tug...
