Baltimore by Baltimore, also known as BxB, was launched by Waterfront Partnership in 2022 as a way to celebrate the city’s arts, music, food and creative culture. Each festival is curated by a different local producer, giving Baltimore artists and entrepreneurs a platform to showcase their work in front of residents and visitors at the Inner Harbor.
The series has become a signature celebration of Baltimore’s creative community, highlighting locally produced goods, performances and experiences in a public waterfront setting. This year, Baltimore by Baltimore is also expanding beyond the Inner Harbor through BxB Unplugged, a weekly live music and makers series that brings smaller performances and neighborhood programming to waterfront parks throughout the summer.
Parking will be available at Premium Parking Garage, located at 101 S. Calvert St. A $10 parking rate is available with the code BXB26.
The next Baltimore by Baltimore festival is scheduled for Saturday, August 1, and will be curated by Chey Parker.
Baltimore by Baltimore’s “Ladies on Deck” is free and open to the public.
