Local bands, vendors, artists, and exhibitors wanted for June 2026 festivals across Baltimore celebrating America's 250th anniversary.
Sail250 Maryland & Air Show Baltimore, presented by Northrop Grumman, is seeking applications from local bands, vendors, artists, and exhibitors for a major 2026 event series running June 24-30 across Baltimore City and Baltimore County. The event celebrates the nation's 250th anniversary and will feature ship tours, festivals, airshow programming, flyovers, and STEM and living history education activities at major public locations including the Inner Harbor, Fells Point, Baltimore Peninsula, and Martin State Airport.
Sail Baltimore is coordinating three festivals scheduled for June 26-28 at the Inner Harbor, Fells Point, and Baltimore Peninsula. They are actively seeking food vendors, nonprofits, and artists and makers to participate. Organizers are particularly interested in participants that reflect Maryland and Chesapeake Bay summertime traditions, along with nautical and naval themes.
The larger event will showcase U.S. and international naval vessels, U.S. Coast Guard ships, international tall ships, and other historic sailing vessels. Ships will be docked in port and open for free public tours at various locations around the city. The highlight of the airshow will feature the U.S. Navy Flight Demonstration Team, the Blue Angels, performing over Baltimore Harbor with viewing areas at Baltimore Peninsula, Canton Waterfront Park, and other harbor locations.
This is an excellent opportunity for local artists, makers, musicians, and vendors to gain exposure and participate in a major regional celebration. The event combines cultural programming with educational activities and is expected to draw significant public attendance.
