Celebrating 40 Years of Pride in Baltimore
Kicking off this July, Baltimore will celebrate Pride for its 40th year. This momentous anniversary will feature the best of Baltimore Pride including a garden dinner party, high heel race, the annual pride parade, block party, and festival. Baltimore will welcome travelers with LGBT events through September including performances at the renowned Chesapeake Shakespeare Company.
July 24-26 is packed with perks for travelers looking to experience a destination well-versed in LGBTQ entertainment. Saturday's Block Party performances will include the iconic voice from hit song "It's Raining Men," Martha Wash, Cazwell from the hilarious hip hop song sensation "No Selfie Control," and youtube star TS Madison. The celebration continues on Sunday in Druid Hill Park with a full day festival featuring country-crooner Steve Grand, regional and local performers, vendors, the Lady Lisa Memorial Drag Stage, and a Family Zone.
GLCCB Deputy Director and Baltimore Pride Coordinator, Paul Liller, says it best, "Baltimore is such a wonderful, welcoming place for LGBT folks. We've got so much to offer any visitor -- art, entertainment, history, architecture -- with a markedly LGBTQ vantage point. I hope visitors will get a sense that Baltimore has a strong sense of community, family, and respect. Plus, we certainly know how to put on one helluva party, hon!"
