Honoring the 200-year-anniversary of the city’s victorious Battle of Baltimore, the festival will include musical performances, historical reenactments, air shows, parades, and more—all reminiscent of the era.

Event hosts, the Creative Alliance and the Friends of Patterson Park, have teamed up with Christopher Schafer and the Baltimore Fashion Alliance to put on the 1814 Fashion Show. The runway will feature an array of civilian and military attire from the early 1800’s, and mainly, from the War of 1812. The costumes will consist of pieces that have been acquired over time, as well as others that have been made specifically for the show.

The free event will take place this Sunday, September 14 from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Patterson Park Pagoda. The fashion show will begin at 12 p.m. and last approximately 30 minutes, on the main, Bull Circle Stage.

The self-acclaimed “Craftiest Bunch in Baltimore” has recruited more than 45 artists from across the country to sell their handmade items at the fair. These crafts will range from paintings, prints and ceramics, to stationery, toys and home goods, to apparel, jewelry, handbags, and more.

And even if you’re not shopping, you might just go home with some of the pieces on display. The fair’s raffle (tickets will be available at the information table) will afford fair goers the chance to win donated items from Craft Mafia vendors. Proceeds will go to charity.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet the artists and to learn some crafting themselves—Baltimore Print Studios will lead DIY printmaking demonstrations.

While enjoying this one-of-a-kind shopping experience, enjoy coffee and food catered by Red Emma’s.

When: Saturday, June 7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Where: 2640 St. Paul St.
