Bromo Arts District

Bromo Arts District is one of Baltimore’s creative hubs, where artists, culture, and community come together in the heart of downtown.

The 117-acre district stretches between Mount Vernon and the Inner Harbor and includes some of Baltimore’s most recognizable cultural landmarks, from the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower to Lexington Market.

What makes Bromo special, though, is the community behind it: the artists, organizations, businesses, and neighbors who continue to make the district a place for creativity, connection, and discovery.

Experience it for yourself at the Bromo Arts Walk on September 10 from 5 PM-9 PM. The evening will bring the district to life with open studios, exhibitions, performances, and opportunities to connect with the artists and creative spaces that make Bromo unique.

National Night Out Brings Baltimore Together! 

Mayor Brandon M. Scott joined residents, community organizations, and public safety partners across Baltimore for National Night Out, an annual celebration that brings neighbors and law enforcement together outside of their usual interactions.

From block parties and cookouts to conversations with local officers and City leaders, National Night Out is all about building connections, strengthening trust, and celebrating the people who make Baltimore’s neighborhoods stronger. These gatherings create opportunities for neighbors to connect, share concerns, and build the relationships that help create safer, more connected communities.

First Sundays at the Baltimore Farmers’ Market

The Baltimore Farmers’ Market is more than a place to shop, it’s a place to gather, connect, and celebrate Baltimore’s vibrant culture. On the first Sunday of each month, the Mayor’s Office of Arts, Culture and Entertainment partners with Create Baltimore to bring even more energy to the market with live cooking demonstrations, special guest DJs, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy local food, music, and community.

Come for the fresh finds, stay for the music and good vibes!
