Historic Pennsylvania Avenue Cadillac Parade
Our History. Our Community. Our Future. Together, We Rise!
The Historic Pennsylvania Avenue Cadillac Parade returns Saturday, October 24, 2026, through the @ENOUGH21217 initiative!
Join residents, marching bands, dancers, community organizations, schools, churches, businesses, performers, Cadillac owners, and classic-car enthusiasts for a powerful celebration of Pennsylvania Avenue’s history, culture, and community.
For generations, Pennsylvania Avenue was the cultural, commercial, political, and entertainment heartbeat of Black Baltimore. Its legendary Easter parades and Cadillac Parade brought families, community leaders, entertainers, business owners, and some of the city’s finest automobiles to the Avenue.
On October 24th, we honor that legacy while reconnecting today’s neighborhoods and generations.
