See you later, B-More!

Tonight is the second installment of WTMD's 2026 First Thursday Festival season, presented by The CFG Bank!

Here's everything you need to know about WTMD's First Thursday Festival - July 9, 2026:

Just a reminder that First Thursdays are RAIN OR SHINE. Meteorologists are calling for some sprinkles before the festival, and again late into the evening. But it’s nothing we can’t dance in, so pack a rain jacket and come on out! Check in with our official weather partner WMAR-2 News Baltimore for a detailed hourly forecast.

We're thrilled to welcome from Houston, TX, the swagger and soul of Blessing Jolie; some rip-roarin’ rock n’ roll from the Fitzkee Brothers Music out of Lewes, DE; and the superior song-writing and indie cool of Ratboys out of Chicago, IL. 🎸

Gates open at 5:00 PM, and the music goes from 6 to 10 PM. 🎶

Enjoy a wide variety of local fare and dining options, explore local businesses in the Vendor Village, become inspired by our area's Baker Artists, and take home some one-of-a-kind pieces crafted by our region's makers and manufacturers. 🦀

There's something for everyone at First Thursdays... It's where community happens.
