Rat-a-Tat-Tat! The Historic Pennsylvania Avenue Cadillac Parade Returns October 24th
From the legendary Easter parades and Cadillac Club to the Royal Theatre, Sphinx Club, Lena Boone, Little Willie Adams, George and Stephanie Gilliam, and Baltimore’s phenomenal marching bands, Pennsylvania Avenue is calling its people home. (BALTIMORE – August 18, 2026) – The sound of snare drums warming up. Rat-a-tat-tat. Then comes another snare. And another. As you listen, you realize that there are multiple snare drummers playing the same rhythm—to the letter, to the T, not missing a beat. Then come the bass drums. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Rat-a-tat-tat! Boom! Boom! Boom! We know that sound in West Baltimore. We know it in East Baltimore. We know it in Cherry Hill and in neighborhoods all across the city. It is the unmistakable sound of a Baltimore marching band. The New Edition Legacy. The Baltimore GoGetters. The Baltimore Twilighters. And all of the other phenomenal marching bands, drumlines, dancers, drill teams, drum majors, instructors, parents, and volunteers who have carried this culture from one generation to the next. Forgive us if we do not know every band’s name. This city is overflowing with talent. Every group that has practiced on a playground, a recreation center parking lot, a basketball court, or a neighborhood street deserves its props. The bands show up in uniform. The dancers dance. The drum majors lead. The drummers bring the thunder. Everything is done with precision. This is more than entertainment. Baltimore’s marching-band culture is a world unto itself. The people involved are serious about their work, uniforms, routines, reputations, and legacies. And do not let there be a competition. You think the Ravens are competitive? Baltimore’s marching bands come to win. Little girls grow into young women inside this culture. Young boys grow into men. Some begin as children and return years later as instructors, mentors, section leaders, and parents. The bands provide discipline, accountability, a sense of belonging, exercise, creativity, mentorship, and a place for young people to shine. They also give Baltimore one of its most recognizable sounds. On Saturday, October 24, 2026, we get to hear that sound on Pennsylvania Avenue one more time. Rat-a-tat-tat! Boom! Boom! Boom! The Historic Pennsylvania Avenue Cadillac Parade is coming back through the ENOUGH@21217 initiative. And let me be clear: We are not creating a new tradition. We are bringing a great Baltimore tradition home. Pennsylvania Avenue Was Black Baltimore’s Downtown For generations, Pennsylvania Avenue was the cultural, commercial, political, and entertainment hub of Black Baltimore. It was our downtown. It was our Broadway. It was our Hollywood. It was our Harlem. It was where Black Baltimore went to shop, eat, dance, conduct business, hear music, watch movies, attend shows, celebrate Easter, display its finest automobiles—and see and be seen. Pennsylvania Avenue was alive day and night. Black doctors, lawyers, real-estate brokers, educators, politicians, undertakers, journalists, musicians, nightclub owners, beauty professionals, shopkeepers, and entrepreneurs operated along the corridor and in the surrounding neighborhoods. Churches, schools, social clubs, professional offices, restaurants, theaters, taverns, hotels, dress shops, barbershops, and…

(BALTIMORE – August 8, 2026) – Baltimore basketball has a way of producing more than players. It produces builders—people who take what they learned on the blacktop and hardwood and turn it into something that outlasts the final buzzer. Keith Goodie is one of them. Ask around Baltimore’s basketball circles, and nobody begins with Goodie’s statistics. They talk about his humility, his knowledge and his willingness to serve. “He cares. He shows up.” That is how I would sum up Coach Goodie after speaking with people who know him. He understands the meaning of give-back. He shows up, assists, and…

At 61 years old, I have spent all but two years of my life in Baltimore. Sports have always been a part of my journey. I played baseball, basketball and football. I wrestled, boxed, lifted weights, ran cross-country, swam and studied martial arts. I was not the greatest basketball player—not by far—but I…
