Based on the deteriorating weather conditions, impending storm and high winds foretasted this weekend we feel as if we cannot give our festival goers,vendors,sponsors, and especially the residents of Fells Point a safe enjoyable festival experience.
We appreciate everyones understanding during this time. We are tentatively looking at the weekend of Oct. 23, 24,, and 25 for the Festival. This of course is pending on Baltimore City services and approvals. So please stay tuned and stay safe this weekend.
