About the Event:

What’s the difference between a party and a birthday party? Cake, presents, and the singing of “Happy Birthday.” Along with the key features listed below, these three elements set Baltimore’s Birthday Bash apart from other galas.

Intentionally, our event is anything but exclusive. Tickets are offered for less than our cost, so residents of all incomes can enjoy a high-end gala experience. VIPs are recognized in a special, early cocktail hour and then invited to join the party with other guests. No roped off areas and no restricted floors mean elected officials dance right alongside community organizers and corporate CEOs. This special magic, of all Baltimoreans celebrating together, is what creates the party’s electric energy.

Community is central to Live Baltimore’s mission. That’s why all our individual sponsor opportunities include sponsorship of good neighbors—a gifted ticket provided, free of charge, to a community leader making a difference in their neighborhood. This helps residents from all parts of the City celebrate Baltimore’s birthday! Live Baltimore will work with neighborhood associations to identify deserving recipients.

Along with our affordable ticket prices, sponsorship of good neighbors ensure our gala is the most inclusive and diverse—in attendees’ age, race, and origin—in Baltimore City.

A birthday party needs birthday treats. And with so many sweet treat providers participating in Baltimore’s Birthday Bash, the big question is: Who baked it best? Thirteen pastry chefs, bakers, and candy-makers battle it out at each event for the honor of being named “sweetest treat of the year.” Winners receive advertising recognition and, of course, bragging rights!

A celebration of Baltimore would be incomplete without a showcase of residents’ talents. The singing of “Happy Birthday” is made memorable each year by a celebrity MC, the Mayor of Baltimore, and performers from across the City. The Oriole Bird, Poe, and Mr. Boh himself have become regular favorites who join guests and performers in the event’s photo booth.

Birthday Bash 2024

We gathered over 1,500 at our tenth annual Birthday Bash, located at Harborplace—the heart of our city! To ensure everyone had an opportunity to celebrate the City’s 29th birthday, Live Baltimore and Waterfront Partnership added a public celebration to our ticketed fundraiser event. WBAL’s Deborah Weiner, Brian Pieninck, and Mayor Brandon M. Scott helped to rally the crowd before the Dancers of Baltimore’s Ballroom Scene brought the energy for a truly one-of-a-kind Baltimore performance. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra featuring Wordsmith topped off our performances as we welcomed Bike Party to the scene. View the event program here.
