Which city celebrates the spring equinox by burning socks?

A Phoenix
B Annapolis
C Black Rock City

Fact: Boatyard workers and sailors mark the spring equinox with the ‘Burning of the Socks’ festival in Annapolis, Maryland. The tradition stems from the boating community’s custom of wearing socks solely in winter. As the weather warms, the socks are burned to celebrate the arrival of busier times and the influx of customers. From that point on, socks are no longer worn until the next equinox.

Correct Answer: Annapolis
