Baltimore opens its July 12 weekend with free outdoor markets and ticketed concerts scheduled at waterfront and park sites.

Residents turn to these local programs after recent international developments that include U.S. military action in the Middle East and reports of debt burdens on developing nations.

Markets and family programs

The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts runs the weekly farmers market at the Inner Harbor on Saturday morning with vendors set up along Light Street. Patterson Park hosts a separate Sunday event organized by the Friends of Patterson Park that includes craft stalls and a children’s area on East Baltimore Street.

City data from last year showed 4,200 visitors at the Inner Harbor market on a single July Saturday, with average spending per person listed at $18 according to the market’s final report.

Live music and evening options

Pier Six Pavilion in the Inner Harbor books two ticketed shows for Saturday night with doors opening at 6 p.m. and general admission priced from $25. Additional performances run at the Creative Alliance on Eastern Avenue in Highlandtown starting at 8 p.m. with a $15 cover.

Visitors should buy tickets online in advance and use the Charm City Circulator bus routes that stop directly outside both venues to avoid downtown parking fees.
