Baltimore is turning up the fun this summer, with two exciting announcements giving residents and visitors plenty to look forward to in the weeks ahead.
Pop-up pickleball courts have arrived at Baltimore’s iconic Inner Harbor, bringing a burst of energy and friendly competition to one of the city’s most beloved public spaces. The temporary courts are drawing players and spectators alike to the waterfront, giving the Inner Harbor a lively new attraction that locals of all ages can enjoy. The pop-up setup makes it easy for newcomers to pick up a paddle and join in the action, adding a fresh, community-friendly dimension to the Harbor’s already vibrant atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Baltimore’s mayor has announced the headliners for the city’s 2026 Charm City Live festival, generating excitement across the region.
