About Baltimore City Fair

The Baltimore City Fair celebrates Maryland's great independent city — Baltimore is one of America's oldest port cities and the birthplace of the Star-Spangled Banner, and the city's diverse neighborhoods from Fells Point to Hampden bring their agricultural and community fair traditions to an urban celebration of Maryland heritage.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, live entertainment, local food vendors featuring Baltimore's beloved crab cakes and Old Bay seasoning, and a diverse urban fair drawing from Baltimore's vibrant neighborhoods.

Visitor Tips

Baltimore's Inner Harbor, the National Aquarium, Fort McHenry National Monument (birthplace of the national anthem), Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and the American Visionary Art Museum reflect a city of extraordinary cultural depth and resilience.
