Just Stalking Resources' 2nd Crab Fest with Live Music

This year will highlight the importance of educating Marylanders about stalking & advocating for resources specific to stalking victims.

We are excited to announce that in lieu of the Annual Awareness Soiree in Jan., we will be holding our Second Crab Fest with live music on July 11th. ALL tickets are transferable. If you have a ticket you do NOT need a new one. Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions, please email us at info@juststalkingmdresources.org.

Join Just Stalking: Maryland Resources for our second Crab Fest, an evening of education, community, and support for stalking victims and their loved ones in Maryland. This annual event also serves as a fundraiser to keep our resources free and accessible year‑round.

We created a welcoming space where Marylanders can learn more about stalking, share experiences, and connect with advocates, allies, and service providers. Everyone interested in understanding stalking, supporting survivors, or learning how to respond safely is invited.
