Moonrise Festival is an annual electronic dance music (EDM) festival held in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2013, the festival was scheduled to be held on June 8 and 9 in Port Covington. However, the festival was cancelled due to event organizers failing to get the necessary city permits.[1] In 2014, the festival was held at Pimlico Race Course and was considered an outstanding success with over 30,000 in attendance. [2] The 2015 and 2016 festival were held at the same location on August 8-9, and 6-7 respectively with headliners such as Bassnectar, The Chainsmokers, Zedd, and Tiesto.
