The Baltimore Rhythm Festival returns Saturday, September 26, 2026,
from noon to 6 p.m., bringing a free day of music, dance, cultural traditions and hands-on experiences to Baltimore’s Greenmount West neighborhood.
Now in its 12th year, the Baltimore Rhythm Festival is built around a simple idea: audiences aren’t just invited to watch—they’re invited to participate. Festivalgoers can move between two stages of live performances, community drumming, dance and music workshops, children’s activities, local vendors and food throughout the day.
The festival opens at noon with a Homa Fire Ceremony led by Maria Broom, followed by a Sound Bath with Michele Blu.
