Now in its third year, Baltimore’s Light City is a free and one-of-a-kind festival of light, music, and innovation.
In 2016, the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts launched the inaugural Light City festival. Since then, it has become the largest festival of light, music, and innovation. And it's making its grand return to the city from April 14-21.
This year's theme is "More Love! More Lights!" Light City is typically based in the Inner Harbor, but this year it'll be expanding with light displays in other parts of Charm City. More than 20 brand
new light installations will be on display at the free event.
Not only are the visual displays completely gorgeous, there are also incredible musical performances that will shine the spotlight on our city's local talent.
Guests can also enjoy various workshops and expos by leaders from all parts of the world, who have come together to educate, network, and engage the community.
