2026 Best of Baltimore Party

August 6, 2026 | 7:00-11:00 p.m. | M&T Bank Stadium

Presented by Old Bay, Baltimore magazine’s annual Best of Baltimore Party brought together the most energetic locals for an all-out, super-charged celebration of the annual Best of Baltimore issue.

Vibes were high at M&T Bank Stadium’s newest building, The Talon and Backstage, on Thursday, August 6, 2026 as Baltimoreans convened to enjoy all of the things that makes Baltimore the best.

Drinks flowed like waterfalls. Bites by more than 30 of the area’s leading chefs awakened our senses. Buttery smooth jazz by Love Groove Band, dance floor-worthy hits by Rick and the Revolving Doors, and bangers by a festival-style lineup of DJs curated by Love Groove Festival set the tone for a high-octane night.

This wasn’t just a party. It was an experience that captures the spirit of our city like lightning in a bottle—never again to be replicated.
