What Is Charm City Pride?
Charm City Pride Fest is the official afterparty of Baltimore Pride, a bold, multi-venue celebration created by queer collectives featuring DJs, drag, live music, dancing, vendors, karaoke, and queer joy all night long.
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 a women-led, queer, local collective active in the community. We’ve hosted everything from nightlife events to full-scale community gatherings, always with the same goal of bringing people together
Now Seeking Sponsors
We started this event fully self-funded, without big sponsors or corporate backing. It was built through love, hustle, and community support.
As we grow, we’re seeking partners who believe in what we’re building: a safer, more intentional, and joy-filled space for LGBTQIA+ people in Baltimore.
