One of our coolest attractions in Baltimore is the Water Taxi! This relaxing cruise is the best opportunity of the summer to relax after work and enjoy the ride. They even  offer BYOB cruises, so pack a bag and bring some friends along for the ride!

The Orioles are playing at Camden Yards throughout the 2024 baseball season. Tickets are on sale now for games throughout the summer for a single game, Early Bird Saturdays, and many more bundles. Be sure to try the delectable food vendors, like Stuggy’s hot dogs.

A classic for summer entertainment is heading outside to watch some outdoor movies. The American Visionary Art Museum will bring back Flicks from the Hill with a showing every Thursday until August. Admission to the museum during this time is also free, and there will be food trucks and other pre-film activities to enjoy.

Summer is also a great time of year to get into beach volleyball! Baltimore Beach has different leagues open to players of all skill levels. For those who only want to play casually, drop in hours are available on weekends.

For those of you who prefer more ways to cool down in these rising temperatures, you might find pilates at Four Seasons to be a nice option. Their infinity pool offers a great view of the Baltimore harbor, making this a prime spot for exercise without getting too hot. 

Another great place to go swimming is right here at Promenade! One of your available amenities this summer is access to our pool and grill. Cook your favorite meal and enjoy it poolside, right here at home.

It is the perfect time of year to enjoy some homemade ice cream from Bmore Licks. They have at least thirty different flavors every day, with a rotating menu of all their best flavors! Some of their summer flavors include blueberry, strawberry rhubarb, and S’mores.

There is no summer like a Baltimore Summer without having some of our world famous crabs! Check out Captain James on the water for some of Baltimore’s best crabs… and views!

Another Baltimore classic to grab while it’s hot is one of our snowballs! For those of you who are not familiar with them, they are finely shaved ice with popular flavors, such as egg custard. Places like Crushed Velvet have them in several fan favorite flavors, like Elderflower Peach and Cherry Cherry.

We hope that all of you enjoy your summer here in Baltimore. Remember to grab some sunscreen before you head out, and stay cool!
