A festival built by a movement.
The Fell's Point Fun Festival began in 1967 as a fundraiser to raise money to fight against a project that would have linked I-83 and I-95 and demolished an extensive area of Fell's Point. Thanks to the initial organizers of this festival our neighborhood fought back and Fell's Point as we know it was saved. Since then, the Annual Fell's Point Fun Festival has grown to cover 6 city blocks in the heart of our beautiful historic, eclectic, and unique neighborhood.
The Fell's Point Fun Festival's organizer, The Preservation Society, has worked to maintain the 18th and 19th century character of the historic structures within Fell's Point.
The society operates without cost to the city of Baltimore and it currently maintains many of the buildings as well as runs historic tours of Fell's Point. The Fell's Point Fun Festival has grown dramatically over the years and continues to have a large impact in maintaining the historic integrity of Fell's Point for businesses, residents and visitors.
In 2026, the Fell's Point Fun Festival will celebrate its 60th Anniversary.
