BNHA, National Park Service Elevate the Roar of the Drums, Voices of Baltimore in Remembrance of the Battle of Baltimore on Defenders’ Day
Baltimore National Heritage Area (BNHA) will celebrate Baltimore’s oldest holiday, Defenders’ Day, in partnership with the National Park Service, on its 208th anniversary since 1815—one year following the Battle of Baltimore. Commemorating Baltimore's victorious defense against the British Army during the War of 1812, local youth will join The Fort McHenry Guard Fife & Drum Corps in celebrating Baltimore’s diverse group of defenders, soldiers, sailors, and civilians with performances.
