Baltimore Rhythm Festival

The festival kicks off at noon with a heartfelt blessing and prayer, marking the start of an exciting afternoon filled with diverse activities.

You can expect two stages showcasing a blend of local, national, and international talent, alongside engaging workshops catering to both beginners and seasoned enthusiasts. The atmosphere is lively, with open mic sessions, children's activities, and vibrant drum jams that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Feel free to bring your drum along; we provide a convenient Drum check space for our guests' instruments!

For the little ones, our children's area offers craft activities and musical play opportunities.
