Bar Weekend 2026

February 27 - March 1  ♦ Hotel Hershey

Message from AABA President Jonathan Pasterick:

On behalf of the Anne Arundel Bar Association and the Bar Weekend Committee, I invite you to join us for Bar Weekend 2026, an opportunity to take some time for yourself, rejuvenate your passion, and connect with other AABA members.
 
I am excited to spend this weekend with you in Hershey, Pennsylvania where we will enjoy delicious food and drink, family fun and more. Our Bar Weekend events will take place at The Hotel Hershey.  The resort is only 90 miles from Annapolis and is the perfect place to reconnect and is one of the best places to stay in PA.  Take in the breathtaking views of the iconic Pennsylvania destination, sitting atop the hillside, overlooking the stunning Hershey valley.  Each guest will enjoy their free Resort Benefits:  FREE admission to several local Hershey attractions, the best pricing on tickets to Zoo America, and more!
 
Members can also explore the local area easily, with the historic sites, restaurants and shops in downtown Hershey on your doorstep. 
 
I am proud to announce that we have reimagined the morning educational program in a way that will bring all of us together as a group and engage in broad topics that will benefit practitioners of all disciplines.
 
Bar Weekend is the perfect time to bring new energy and ideas to your legal career and enhance your relationships with other members of the bar. We have planned an education program that combines timely legal knowledge with a focus on pressing issues. 
 
I hope you will join me and your fellow AABA members as we build friendships and create memories together!
