Baltimore Pride started as a small event in 1975 that saw activists come together in a peaceful demonstration. As the Pride Center of Maryland evolved through the years, so did its annual Pride Celebration. In the following four decades, Baltimore Pride has served as the ultimate way to celebrate Pride and has become a city-wide tradition offering events such as the annual Pride Parade and Block Party, the Twilight on the Terrace Gala, Youth Pride, Pride in the Park, and many others.

​

​Over the years, Baltimore’s Pride celebration has taken place throughout much of the downtown area, from Charles Plaza, to the 200 block of Chase Street; to Park Avenue, the Wyman Park Dell, and now to its current locations of N Charles and 23rd street, and Druid Hill Park.
