The story
Havre de Grace Decoy and Wildlife Art Festival in Havre de Grace
Havre de Grace Decoy and Wildlife Art Festival, presented by the Havre de Grace Decoy Museum, brings carvers, collectors, and wildlife artists together in a town that calls itself the Decoy Capital of the World. Decoy carving competitions anchor the weekend, alongside an old decoy contest that gives historic working birds a place beside newer creations.
You walk in and the first thing that catches you is the stare of the birds: canvasbacks, mallards, and shorebirds lined up on tables, each one carved so carefully it seems ready to drift off into the tide.
