Be part of one of the oldest ceremonies in Baltimore City! Over 100 years ago, Baltimore residents spent Saturday evenings watching the military review of soldiers at Fort McHenry. That tradition lives on today on selected weekend evenings with the free twilight tattoo ceremonies at Fort McHenry. Every ceremony ends with the folding of the great 30 x 42-foot Star-Spangled Banner flag and the firing of the fort's large evening gun.

Rally Round the Flag! - Civil War Tattoo Ceremony
Saturday, July 14, 6:00 p.m.
Performing for the first time at Fort McHenry, the Wildcat Band performs period pieces on original instruments from the Civil War era. This is the true sound of history. In addition to the Wildcat Band, the Fifes and Drums of the Fort McHenry Guard, attired as Union soldiers, will thrill audiences to stirring marches and favorites by Stephen Foster.
