December 2020

The holiday season is well underway and I want to personally thank all of you for partnering with the Heritage Area this year to make sure that Baltimore always puts its best foot forward! If you worked with us on a seminar or a marketing project, reviewed a grant, donated to an initiative, connected us with someone in the community, or simply stopped by the office to say hi - WE APPRECIATE YOU!

This year has been hard for all of us and there was a lot of adjusting of business models to meet our goals. I am just so proud of each of you! We did it! And, as we look toward 2021 let's all dedicate ourselves to doing it even better!

The BNHA will continue to be your partner in all things that promote and preserve the historic neighborhoods and cultural gems of the City we love. There is hope on the horizon and BNHA will continue to be here to make sure that Baltimore is seen as a MUST-SEE location for cultural tourism for many years to come.

Our partners who contributed items and the customers who made purchases both showed collectively what the Heritage Area can do to make sure that the public injects a bit of Baltimore into their holidays!

We enjoyed featuring your Baltimore collectibles, museum shops, and virtual offerings. Our first Bazaar was a SUCCESS and it was because our partners committed to showing the very best that Baltimore has to offer.
DEADLINE EXTENDED!
