Summer is nearly here! With it comes outdoor tunes to be enjoyed by all ages. Check out this list of fun outdoor concerts or concert series in Charm City coming this summer.
- Summer Sounds; Belvedere Square; June 19, July 17, Aug. 21, Sept. 18
Summer Sounds is a great chance to explore Belvedere Square, located north of the city center on East Belvedere Avenue. Its location makes it an ideal spot for families who live in the Baltimore suburbs, as it’s much easier to access than the other places on this list. The series features a variety of local acts, and sees Belvedere Square turn into a lively, open-air market with food and drink specials, prizes, and more. Bring some beach chairs or a blanket and spread out with your friends and family! Best of all? There are more than 450 parking spots available, with nearly all of them free, so you can roll into Belvedere Square without much worry about boring logistics!
2. WTMD First Thursday; Canton Waterfront Park; June 4, July 9, Aug. 6, Sept. 3
To put it simply, if you haven’t been to a First Thursday at Canton Waterfront Park, you’re missing out. The bands jam, crowds show out and the vibes are great. Plus, it’s a fabulous way to ring in a summer weekend. Put on by local favorite station WTMD, the concert is billed as the region’s largest free outdoor music festival. There are tons of vendors and plenty of space to set up with your loved ones and enjoy all that First Thursdays have to offer. Last year, Edgar, Allen or Poe (this writer can’t tell the difference between them … can anyone? Am I missing something?) came, as did Mr. Boh. It’s a star-studded event!
3. 311 and Dirty Heads; Merriweather Post Pavilion; July 22…
