Defenders' Day
Join us September 12-14 for special Defenders’ Day events commemorating the successful defense of Baltimore against British attack in 1814. Celebrated since 1815, Defenders’ Day is Baltimore’s oldest holiday and this year’s activities will celebrate the generations of defenders who served at Fort McHenry and later fought to preserve the site as a National Monument and Historic Shrine.
