The day will include local vendors, workshops and performances. The workshops and performances will be free and open to the public.
“Over the years, we’ve been able to bring some phenomenal artists to Greenmount West for our festival,” said Eboni Yahudah, festival co-director, in a statement. “It’s become an end-of-summer event the creative community eagerly anticipates.”
Performers will include the Bele Bele Rhythm Collective and the Baltimore Twilighters, a community marching band. Workshops will include yoga sessions, drum classes, a puppet show and much more.
This year the Baltimore Rhythm Festival will mark 10 years since the festival was revived. The Baltimore International Rhythm and Drumming Society started the festival in 1995. It was eventually revived in 2014 by Menes Yahudah and Rory Turner, co-founders of the festival.
“As a musician and creative individual, I love to cultivate spaces for my peers,” said Menes Yahudah in a statement. “We consistently receive positive feedback from the artist community here in Baltimore.”
For those looking for more fun things to do this week, check out the Baltimore Rhythm Festival’s evening concert on Sept. 13. It will be held at 2640 Space in North Baltimore from 7 – 10 p.m.
Janeliasoul, an Afro-soul vocalist, and Chopteeth Afrofunk Big Band will headline the concert.
Though the festival is free, the evening concert requires a ticket, available for $15.
