Description

The first annual Celebration of Black-Owned Businesses in Baltimore Presented by Hamilton-Lauraville Main Street, The Cube, and UnBoxing Change. Hamilton Lauraville Main Street (HLMS) is a diverse community of businesses & residents joining together to create a thriving Harford Road commercial district in Northeast Baltimore City. Surrounded by neighborhoods of stately homes, large trees, pretty cottages, and colorful gardens, the Hamilton-Lauraville Main Street district retains its small-town charm while offering a desirable array of restaurants, taverns, galleries, small shops, and cultural spots. Hamilton-Lauraville is truly a DIY place, where local residents own small businesses, ranging from book stores to restaurants and handmade jewelry stores to bakeries and vegan donuts. HLMS hosts over 40 events each year, ranging from First Fridays, street festivals, farmers markets, and the annual Downhill Derby. Hamilton-Lauraville Healthy Neighborhood is a program under HLMS. The neighborhoods in Healthy Neighborhoods include Arcadia, Beverly Hills, Hamilton Hills, Lauraville, Morgan Park, Moravia-Walther and Waltherson. By targeting the strongest, most marketable areas of a neighborhood to become the “postcard blocks” the residents can set high standards for the neighborhood as a whole and re-define the neighborhood’s image in terms of its best assets. Healthy Neighborhoods provide grants for block improvement projects, capital improvements, and special renovation loans for homeowners.
