The Baltimore Farmers' Market
Since 1977, The Baltimore Farmers Market has provided an economically and socially diverse gathering place for Baltimore residents to eat, shop, and connect every Sunday morning. As Maryland’s largest farmers’ market, this weekly hub supports local farms, vendors, artisans, and organizations by creating a platform where they can sell their goods, develop relationships with shoppers, and make fresh food available to our community.
Managed by BOPA, The Baltimore Farmers’ Market isn’t your average farmers’ market. It’s a full-blown sensory experience. Join us and immerse yourself in the bustling atmosphere, savor delicious food, discover unique products, and enjoy the talents of local artists and performers.

The Cloisters
Settled high on a hill in Lutherville among 60 acres of secluded woods, The Cloisters reflects the beauty and grandeur of medieval Europe with delicately carved wood, exquisitely detailed stained glass, and ornately designed wrought iron.
Sumner and Dudrea Parker designed the castle to highlight their extensive collection of medieval artwork and artifacts, and now their masterpiece is available to showcase your special event. Whether you are planning a wedding, a special birthday party, a bar or bat mitzvah, a holiday ball, or a business reception, The Cloisters will provide an unforgettable setting for you and your guests.
The Cloisters
Top Of The World Observation Deck
The Top of the World Observation Level is located on the 27th floor of the Baltimore World Trade Center, the world’s tallest regular pentagonal building. Top of the World is the only attraction in Baltimore to offer an awe-inspiring 360-degree view of Maryland’s urban center.
Managed by BOPA, Top of the World is also home to the Gallery in the Sky, which hosts BOPA’s Peak Artist Exhibition Series, highlighting Baltimore-based artists whose work explores the duality of being born outside the U.S. while now residing in it.

Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower
Located at 21 S. Eutaw Street in the heart of downtown Baltimore, the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower has the world’s largest, four dial, gravity-driven, non-chiming clock. Each clock face is one meter larger than Big Ben’s!
The 15-story city landmark is now home to several of Baltimore’s working creatives. Beginning in 2007, the building was transformed into studio spaces for visual and literary artists. It also has three galleries, a small theater, and a museum on the 15th floor.
Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower is a project of BOPA, which manages the building. Capital Funding for the project is made possible by the City of Baltimore, Baltimore Development Corporation, Eddie & Sylvia Brown, Maryland Historic Trust, Laverne Hahn Charitable Trust, and Baltimore City Heritage Area.

School 33 Art Center
School 33 Art Center was established in 1979 as a neighborhood art center for contemporary art in South Baltimore. Formerly known as P.S. 33, the architecturally engaging brick and brownstone building built in 1890, was utilized as an elementary school until 1975 when a new facility was built for neighborhood children a few blocks away. The South Baltimore Community Committee requested that Mayor Donald Schaefer revitalize the vacant and vandalized building. Based on the success of Long Island City’s P.S. 1 in New York and the strong national presence of alternative space programs in the late seventies, Mayor Schaefer proposed a similar program for Baltimore, thus creating School 33 Art Center.
