"The Chestertown Tea Party was a protest which took place in May 1774 in Chestertown, Maryland as a response to the British Tea Act. Following suit of the more famous Boston Tea Party, colonial patriots boarded the brigantine Geddes in broad daylight and threw its cargo of tea into the Chester River. The event is celebrated each Memorial Day weekend with a festival and historic reenactment."
