Heading to Charm City Live festival this weekend? The weather will be gorgeous, and just right for live music, that awesome smoothie bike, and schmoozing with fellow Baltimoreans enjoying the start of fall.
The festival is at War Memorial Plaza (101 N. Gay St.) on Saturday, Sept. 20 from 12–9 p.m., and there will be some parking and traffic changes to accommodate the activity before, during and after Charm City Live.
Here’s the lowdown on getting there:
The following parking restrictions are in effect from now until Sunday:
- Holliday Street closed from Pleasant Street to Baltimore Street
- Saratoga Street closed from Guilford Avenue to Holliday Street
- Lexington Street closed from Guilford Avenue to North Gay Street
- Dickey Place closed from Guilford Avenue to Holliday Street
- Eastbound Fayette Street closed from Guilford Avenue to President Street
The following roads are closed starting Saturday at 3 a.m. through Sunday:
- Fayette Street (eastbound and westbound) closed from President Street to Guilford Avenue. The exit ramp to Fayette Street from the southbound Jones Falls Expressway will also be closed during this time.
- Gay Street closed from East Baltimore Street to East Saratoga Street
Attendees can hear musicians Lucky Daye, The-Dream, Jeffrey Osborne and Vivian Green. Aspiring Carmelo Anthony protégés can enjoy a basketball pop-up from DTLR. Kids and adults can get their faces painted, enter a virtual reality avatar kiosk from the Peale Museum, and so much more.
So, pay attention to road signs, traffic, and watch out for pedestrians (yes, even Yankees fans, we know they’re in town), and celebrate Charm City.
