[Baltimore Sun] Maritime Magic 2024: Baltimore Scene | PHOTOS
Read Time:3 Minute, 12 Second
Thirty-six years in, and the “magic” was still there for Maritime Magic, Living Classrooms Foundation’s annual waterfront bash at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park in Fells Point.
The backdrop of a shimmering Inner Harbor going from dusk to darkness provided the ideal magical setting. There was also the magic of mingling with some 2,000 of your closest friends, with some adding their own sparkle to the event’s requested “festive casual attire.” What seemed to be unending food and beverage stations from some 50 local restaurants, breweries, wineries and food vendors added to the charming atmosphere. Live music from junk/soul/jazz Colorado-based group, The Motet, provided some twinkle for the toes, bringing many folks onto the dance floor.
For Living Classrooms’ staff and board members, however, the real magic came in the form of the money raised for nonprofit’s programs that fight poverty and strengthen local communities in Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
