The Pennsylvania Avenue Black Arts & Entertainment District will present its culminating marquee event of the year, The Soul Soirée – A Night of Music & Poetry, on Saturday, October 25th, from 6pm to 10pm. Join us for this highly anticipated evening set to take place at Maryland’s State Theatre, Baltimore Center Stage, as a part of their Shared Space Initiative. The Soul Soirée is more than an event—it’s a testament to the power of Black creativity and cultural legacy in Baltimore. Guests can expect a night of unforgettable artistry, while also invest in the future of the Black Arts District and the communities it serves. With its blend of artistry, elegance, and purpose, The Soul Soirée will showcase how Baltimore can shine as a hub of Black cultural excellence.

Sponsorship opportunities are currently available.

All proceeds will directly support the Black Arts District’s 2026 programming, ensuring another year of transformative arts initiatives, community-centered programming, and creative economic development.
