KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Baltimore is ready to welcome the 4th Annual Charm City Live on Saturday, September 20, 2025. But before you head down to War Memorial Plaza, there are a few things to prepare for, so you can safely enjoy the music, food, and your fellow Baltimoreans.”

  • Since War Memorial Plaza is in Baltimore City’s downtown core, you will use one of two entrances and both entrances will have security checkpoints. The "north entrance" will be on Gay Street, just south of E. Saratoga St, and the "south entrance" will be on Gay St, just north of E. Baltimore St.

  • The following items will not be allowed inside the festival, so please leave them at home or in your vehicles:

    • Weapons of any kind, including mace
    • Outside food or drink
    • Large bags (if you have medicine, please place in a small clear bag)
    • Backpacks
    • Professional cameras (GoPros are OK)
    • Recording devices
