Annual Baltimore Trans Pride events took place this weekend in the city’s Station North and Old Goucher neighborhoods.

Thousands of people attended the two-day celebration, which was produced by Baltimore Safe Haven, the city’s only trans-led drop-in wellness center.

The festivities kicked off with a ball on Friday. On Saturday, a parade and block party took place at the corner of North Charles Street and North Avenue. Two simultaneous after-parties closed out the weekend.

The Crown featured Charm City Girls. And the Ottobar featured DJ Kotic Couture and BLKVAPOR.

The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsors. Become one.
