BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Baltimoreans will have more chances to take a dip in the Inner Harbor this summer as Harbor Splash returns in a new format designed to be more flexible.
Following two consecutive years of sold-out events, Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore announced the return of Harbor Splash as a pop-up series, offering multiple public swim opportunities throughout the summer.
Instead of a single event, the swims will be held at Bond Street Wharf in Fells Point, with each event allowing a limited number of participants to swim under controlled conditions.
As we’ve seen over the past two years, the enthusiasm for Harbor Splash speaks volumes about how far the Harbor has come and how eager people are to engage with it in new ways,” said Dan Taylor, president of Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore. “At the same time, we’ve learned that flexibility is key. This new format allows us to adapt to changing conditions while expanding access for people to safely experience the water.
Event dates will be announced about one week in advance, and registration will open on a rolling basis throughout the summer.
Waterfront Partnership said the move to a pop-up format reflects the realities of hosting events on the water, where weather and water quality conditions can change quickly, while also creating more opportunities for public participation.
“The Harbor is one of Baltimore’s most important assets, and Harbor Splash is helping people experience it in a new light,” said Adam Lindquist, vice president of the Waterfront Partnership. “This new format builds on overwhelming demand, with previous Harbor Splash events selling out in minutes.”
