Right next to the Washington monument, this small patch of grass hosts the Concerts in the Park series, hosted by WTMD. When a concert isn't happening, lots of dog walkers and sun bathers frequent this escape from the typical urban surroundings.

Boom! Crash! This year's lighting was louder, brighter, and yes, smokier than last year. Still, a ton of fun. It was a fireworks show that could only be done in Baltimore.

Busy as always, but great music. Get there early if you want to be able to sit anywhere.
