Celebrating 40 years of house music, the 'Baltimore by Baltimore' festival returns to the Inner Harbor

Food vendors, live music and festivals. It's already starting to feel like summer.

Baltimore by Baltimore Waterfront Music and Makers Festival returns on June 1st. The experience is a series of 5 all-day festivals.

This theme for the first event is “Baltimore’s in the House," celebrating 40 years of House music in the charm city. Producer Maya Gilmore is organizing the first show in this season's lineup.



"June is black music month. This year was 40 years of house music in Baltimore. House music originated in Chicago but it came to Baltimore and these Baltimore DJs were very pioneering in changing the music and giving it a little twist," said Gilmore.

The event is held every first Saturday from June 1st through October 5th at the Inner Harbor Amphitheater.

"It's for Baltimore by Baltimore. We've come together to bring all elements of our city together. It's a celebration," said Gilmore.
