Happy Independence Day Baltimore!

Baltimore, MD (July 3, 2008) – With the rising cost of gas, food and airline tickets, it’s no wonder that many would-be travelers are choosing to stay near home this summer.

This is a great opportunity for you and your family to be “tourists” in your own city, where countless sights, sounds and activities await.

This Fourth of July avoid the traffic and join Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks for the 8th Annual Waterfront Jazz and Arts Festival at Middle Branch Park from 6-11 PM. Featuring Fertile Ground, the RYZE Band, Trey Eley, Eric Marner, David Back and hosted by Magic 95.9’s Jammer. Grab a front row seat to the best fireworks display in the city, while enjoying live jazz and cultural arts performances including comedy, spoken word and more! Food and special treasures will be available for sale. This event is FREE and open to the public. Parking is $5.

And remember Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks operates 22 public swimming facilities throughout the city for those looking for relief from the heat, a chance to exercise, or an excuse to play in the water. Admission is $1 per visit for the walk-to and indoor pools. Park pools are $1.50 per person and kids under three are FREE.
