Our Light City Tours are a series of evening walking and boat tours to see our city in a new light. Participants are encouraged to take advantage of Baltimore’s evening offerings, including theaters, artist open studios, and restaurants before or after each tour. Over the course of 2026, we will host evening tours in neighborhoods across the city, and on our harbor! Learn more and sign up for the first few tours below!

Gather with us this spring! We hope you’ll join us at one of our events, perhaps on our Inner Harbor boat tour on a water taxi, a Booth, Baltimore & Lincoln’s Assassination tour on the 161st anniversary of the murder, or at one of our talks at the historic Garrett-Jacobs Mansion.

In 2026, we are expanding our live-narrated Inner Harbor boat tours and offering them almost every Saturday from March through October!
We hope you will join us to discover America’s history on Baltimore’s water. America defeated the British here. Frederick Douglass escaped from here. And today we are pioneering watershed restoration here. The tour starts near the Harborplace pavilions and goes all the way out to Fort McHenry. Come see how Baltimore’s wonderful waterfront connects the past with the present and Baltimore to the rest of the world.
We hope to see you on board! Click below to access our Event Calendar and register for a boat tour:
