2023 Charm City Bluegrass Festival – Celebrating 10 Years!

Charm City Bluegrass returns for a very special 10th year celebrating bluegrass and roots music in Baltimore.

We return to where it all began, Union Craft Brewing! But this time, at their current expansive Union Collective location also located in Hampden.

Join us on May 5th & 6th, 2023, at the Union Collective for a celebration of the music we all love. This two-day event will start at 3 pm on Friday and continue at 10am on Saturday with a late night at The 8x10 when music concludes. Full music lineup coming soon!

Friday will feature music indoors and on the outdoor patio. Saturday will feature music on stages outdoors and indoors! Enjoy great food and craft vending plus all the Union brew your can enjoy on both days.
