Where there's port, there's water!

This past weekend's Inner Harbor event was a BIG SUCCESS in Maryland, despite the persisting rain Saturday afternoon. With the harbor ships setting the Hollywood-esque scene, the crowd enjoyed a day of fine arts, good eats and smooth tunes.

The harbor was turned into an outdoor gallery, with over 150 tents lining the streets, and hundreds of onlookers coming out to check out the assortment of art. Our artists and guests alike weren't fazed by the falling drops, as the tented displays offered solace from the inclement weather.
