About the application

Baltimore City's Office of Equity and Civil Rights (OECR) invites vendors to participate in Civil Rights Week 2026, "From Promise to Power," taking place October 2–9. This year's Civil Rights Week carries special significance, marking a convergence of milestones in the fight for justice and equity: the 70th anniversary of Baltimore's Community Relations Commission and OECR, the 100th anniversary of the celebration of Black History Month, the 60th anniversary of Miranda v. Arizona, the 160th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. Together, these milestones offer a powerful lens for reflecting on how far the pursuit of civil rights has come, and how far there is still to go.

 

This citywide series of events brings together community members, city leaders, and advocates to honor this history while looking ahead to a more equitable future. You are a vital part of creating this experience for attendees, and we welcome businesses, city and state agencies, community organizations, and individual entrepreneurs to apply for a table.

 

Vendor spaces are available across select Civil Rights Week events. Please complete the registration form with your business or organization information, a brief description of what you'll be offering, and your preferred event date(s). Space is limited, and vendor placement will be confirmed on a rolling basis. Once approved, you'll receive details on setup logistics, table assignments, and any other applicable information.

About the event

Baltimore's Civil Rights Week has been more than an event. It has been a declaration, a reminder that the work of equity is not finished, and that our city refuses to wait. This year, we go further. Civil Rights Week 2026, hosted by Mayor Brandon M. Scott and the Baltimore City Office of Equity and Civil Rights, moves beyond commemoration. Under the theme, From Promise to Power, this year's convening is a call to action. From October 2 - 9, civic leaders, business executives, scholars, organizers, philanthropists, elected officials, and everyday Baltimoreans will gather for a week of transformative events spanning youth empowerment, public safety accountability, fair labor, disability rights, maternal health, and more. At a time when civil rights are being challenged, dismantled, and dismissed across this country, Baltimore is choosing a different path. Through the work of the Office of Equity and Civil Rights, this city continues to affirm that equity is not optional, it is foundational. These events aim to celebrate the equitable advancement of Baltimore City while uniting community leaders, residents, scholars, policymakers, business leaders, philanthropists, and so many others. Across the country, we are seeing growing attempts to dismiss systemic injustice, defend exclusion, and discredit diversity as a threat rather than one of our nation’s greatest strengths. Under Mayor Scott’s leadership, and championed through the Baltimore City Office of Equity and Civil Rights, Baltimore is boldly rejecting that narrative. We hope you will join us in supporting and uplifting this critical work for a better Baltimore!
