Charles Street Promenade

The Basilica is happy to once again participate in the Charles Street Promenade. We will be open to the public from 1PM-4PM on June 3th, 2023, and are offering 3 guided tours on the hour. Public tours will begin on the portico, just outside the main doors. Vistitors are also welcome to a self-guided tour or to simply come spend time in the peaceful environment.

If you plan to attend one of the guided tours, please sign up by clicking the button below:
Please also feel free to stop into the John Paul II Prayer Garden at the corner of N. Charles and Franklin Streets from 11:30AM - 2:30PM for quiet contemplation and a live harp performance.

There is no fee for tours or to enter the prayer garden, but free will donations are accepted. We look forward to welcoming you to the Baltimore Basilica!
