FOR THE THIRD YEAR, BALTIMORE IS HOSTING LIGHT CITY, A FESTIVAL OF LIGHT, MUSIC AND INNOVATION. During this free multi-day festival in April, the Inner Harbor shines brighter than any other time of year with more than 20 light art installations, live music, performing arts, children’s activities and local food and beverage vendors.
Light City has quickly become one of the city’s top annual events, attracting more than 400,000 visitors in 2017. This year’s festival spans three weekends, starting April 6-8 with Neighborhood Lights, a community artist-in-residence program with projects in 14 different neighborhoods. Next is Light City, featuring the Inner Harbor’s BGE Light Art Walk, from April 14-21; and Labs@Light City, the festival’s daytime innovation conference, is April 18-21.
Interactive and family-friendly installations and activities at past festivals have included light-up seesaws, projections that react to the sound of your voice, an oversized house of cards made of light boxes, and musical performances ranging from classical and folk to rock and electronic.
