What Is Charm City Pride?
Charm City Pride Fest is the official afterparty of Baltimore Pride—a bold, multi-venue takeover of Power Plant Live!, filled with DJs, drag, live music, dancing, vendors, karaoke, and queer joy all night long.
​
​It’s a pride celebration and a community night market rolled into one unforgettable experience.
Our Mission
We created Charm City Pride Fest because we didn’t see the kind of celebration we wanted to attend—one that centers LGBTQIA+ folks across identities, with space for women, non-binary, trans folx, and those often left out of traditional Pride nightlife.
​
As members of the community ourselves, we wanted a space that felt good, felt safe, and felt like us. And we’ve worked hard to build it from the ground up.
​
​What started as a vision to create more women-led spaces has grown into an intentionally inclusive event for the entire LGBTQIA+ family. Because now more than ever, we need to show up, dance together, and have each other’s backs.
Who We Are
Charm City Pride Fest is created and produced by:
​
-
Akosua Osei & Krista Jackson of Uncuffed Events
-
Al Tiano of Queers Upstairs
​
We’re queer, local, and active in the community—and we've each served as Baltimore Pride event chairs at one point in time. We’ve hosted everything from nightlife events to full-scale community gatherings, always with the same goal: to bring people together and keep it real.
Now Seeking Sponsors
We started this event fully self-funded—no big sponsors, no corporate backing. Just love, hustle, and community support.
​
Now, as we grow, we’re looking for sponsors who believe in what we’re building:
A safer, more intentional, and joy-filled space for LGBTQIA+ people in Baltimore.
