We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
The Inner Harbor event will run from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. on July 4, highlighted by live music and a fireworks display visible from key waterfront locations including Federal Hill and Harbor East. Continuing an annual tradition, Mayor Brandon M. Scott will make a ceremonial kayak entrance before the festivities. The main stage for performances will be set up at the Inner Harbor Amphitheater.
Meanwhile, in South Baltimore, the 9th Annual Cherry Hill Arts & Music Waterfront Festival will take place at Middle Branch Park from 1:00 to 10:00 p.m. The festival will culminate in a 9:30 p.m. drone show launched from West Covington Park, offering a quieter and more environmentally friendly alternative to fireworks. The display, created with support from local arts organizations and the Youth Resiliency Institute, aims to blend technology and culture in a way that honors the city’s creativity.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The Cherry Hill festival is free to attend and will include live performances, food vendors, local exhibits, and family-focused cultural activities. Supported by the South Baltimore Gateway Partnership, the event is designed to bring diverse communities together while spotlighting Baltimore’s homegrown talent and heritage. Both celebrations will be held rain or shine, ensuring city residents have access to inclusive and festive holiday options across two major waterfront locations.
