SAIL250® Maryland & Air Show Baltimore
SAIL250® Maryland & Airshow Baltimore, June 24-30, 2026, is a free family-friendly weeklong event that welcomes international tall ships, U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard vessels, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Squadron, flyovers by military and historic aircraft, festivals in and around the city, live entertainment, STEM and Living History education programming, family activities and more. It will take place at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, North Locust Point, Fell’s Point, Baltimore Peninsula and Baltimore County’s Martin State Airport.
