Memorial Day weekend in Baltimore is already packed, but Artscape 2026 brings a completely different energy to the city May 23–24. Spread throughout downtown Baltimore, the festival mixes art, culture, and live music in a way that feels more like a city-wide takeover than a traditional event. This year’s headliners include The Roots and Stephanie Mills and for longtime fans (Okayplayers), The Roots hitting a Baltimore festival stage for the first time in over 20 years is a moment. Beyond the headliners, Artscape always leans into a mix of local and regional talent, so you can expect plenty to discover across multiple stages and blocks.
