Tiny Chapel Concert Series Returns

Featured During Second Sunday | June 14 | 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

One of the most anticipated additions to this year’s programming returns this month: the Tiny Chapel Concert Series. Inspired by the spirit of connection, creativity, and storytelling, the Tiny Chapel Series brings together music, nature, and community in a uniquely Baltimore experience.

This special edition will feature music by our house band inside the Winans Chapel and special guest musician, trumpeter, and jazz artist Rahmlee Michael Davis, who has worked with Earth Wind and Fire, Phil Collins, The Jacksons, and many other notable artists, performing some of his greatest musical contributions outside in Gwynns Falls Leakin Park. Come early, grab a seat (inside the Chapel or bring a lawn/camping chair), and enjoy live performances in one of Baltimore’s most beautiful outdoor spaces.

Community Announcement: Resources Secured for the Park

Join us for a special community announcement highlighting major resources secured for the future of the park through advocacy efforts led by Friends of Gwynns Falls Leakin Park and Delegate Malcolm Ruff the District 41 Delegation, Department of Natural Resource and Baltimore City Recreation and Parks during this year’s Maryland General Assembly session.

Thanks to coordinated community advocacy and partnership efforts, the park secured:

• $280,000 for State Park Master Planning (FY27)

• $2 million in capital funding for park improvements (FY28)

• A pathway to an additional $2 million from the Green Space Equity Fund

This announcement will share more about what these resources mean, next steps for the city-state partnership park effort, and how community members can continue shaping the future of Baltimore’s first proposed state park.
