The Neighborhood Design Center invites you to celebrate the transformative power of Placemaking at the “The City is Yours” closing party on June 7th.

ABOUT THE EVENT

For the culmination of International Placemaking Week, following Friday’s conference sessions, attendees will embark on guided community walks throughout the Station North Arts District and Greenmount West neighborhood, where you’ll witness firsthand the incredible impact of NDC’s community-driven placemaking initiatives.

The event will culminate at the iconic Area 405, a beacon of creativity nestled within the district’s industrial landscape. Get ready for an evening filled with delectable food, drinks, live music, and performances that showcase the essence of Baltimore’s culture and charm. Enjoy beers from Guildford Hall Brewery and Union Craft Brewery, cocktails from Ouzo Beach, food from Cane de Sucre, and sweet treats from Ice Queens Snoball Shop.
