2024 Best of Baltimore Party

August 15, 2024 | 7:00-11:00 p.m. | The Hippodrome Theater and The M&T Bank Exchange

Presented by the University of Maryland Medical Center, our 2024 Best of Baltimore Party was a night to remember. The occasion—celebrating the magazine’s annual Best of Baltimore issue—brought more than 1,100 winners and guests to celebrate at The Hippodrome Theatre and adjoining M&T Bank Exchange. 

The party welcomed attendees with three levels of delicious bites from more than 28 of Baltimore’s most noteworthy restaurants. Specialty bars provided craft cocktails, cold beers, and delectable wines. 

Live music from The Wafflers, Rick and the Revolving Doors, and DJ Kopec had partygoers on the dance floor enjoying throwback jams and today’s top hits. Photo ops, caricatures, casino games, and more added to the fun throughout the evening. 

VIP ticketholders received early admission to the event, as well as access to a VIP-only lounge with special catering by The Local. 

Baltimore magazine was honored to once again partner with The Family Tree as the event’s charity beneficiary.

We can’t wait to see you at Best of Baltimore 2025!
