A New Week of Innovation and Art in Charm City
Welcome to Monday, February 23, 2026. Today marks a significant shift in Baltimore’s cultural and professional landscape as the city kicks off the highly anticipated Baltimore Tech Week alongside world-premiere theater and classic cinema revivals. Whether you are looking to network with the city’s brightest minds, take in a powerful new play, or enjoy a crisp morning walk, there is plenty to see and do in Baltimore today.
Tech Week Spotlight: Tech at the Harbor
The headline event for today is the official kickoff of Baltimore Tech Week. This community-curated series of events aims to highlight the momentum building within the local innovation ecosystem. The flagship gathering, Tech at the Harbor, takes place this evening from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at The Harbor Bank of Maryland on West Fayette Street. Guided by emcee Jeffrey Scruggs and featuring a keynote from Crystal Berger, this event serves as a focal point for founders, entrepreneurs, and creatives to connect and set the tone for a week centered on collaboration and community power.
Evening Theater: World Premiere of "DAWN"
For those seeking a more reflective evening, Everyman Theatre continues its 35th-anniversary season with the world premiere of "DAWN" by Tuyết Thị Phạm. This powerful production follows the story of a mother and daughter confronting a legacy of love and loss while navigating the historical trauma of the late 1970s. As part of Everyman’s commitment to accessibility, the theater offers evening performances at 7:00 PM. It is a rare opportunity to catch a world premiere on a Monday evening, providing a deep dive into culture and identity right in the heart of the Bromo Arts District.
Classic Cinema: Noir Monday at The Charles
Cinema enthusiasts should head to the historic Station North neighborhood, where The Charles Theatre is hosting a special revival screening of the 1947 film noir classic, Dark Passage. Starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, the film is scheduled for a 7:00 PM showing. If you prefer contemporary drama, the theater is also running Hamnet earlier in the day at 12:50 PM. The Senator Theatre is also active today, featuring a big-screen presentation of Hellboy at 4:00 PM and the horror sequel Scream 7 later in the evening.
Outdoor Community: The Monday Meander
If you prefer to start your day in nature, the Monday Meander at Cromwell Valley Park offers a guided community hike starting at 10:00 AM. This easy, four-mile walk is a perfect way to meet local residents and enjoy the winter scenery before the evening's tech and art events begin. For those looking for a professional mixer earlier in the day, the Baltimore Tech Happy Hour begins at 5:00 PM at Costas Inn, providing a casual start to the week’s networking opportunities.
