The Baltimore “Waterfront Invasion,” a joint, summer-long marketing campaign by Visit Baltimore, the Maryland Science Center, the National Aquarium, and Baltimore’s Waterfront Partnership received two awards, an Award of Distinction from the International Downtown Association and the Industry Partnership Award from Maryland Tourism and Travel Summit.

This summer, it’s a perfect storm of prehistoric thrills as Dinosaurs and Jellies descend upon the Maryland Science Center and the National Aquarium and spur a WATERFRONT INVASION of activities, events, concerts, outdoor movies and other promotions around Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. While the city prepares for this epic invasion, families and travelers are encouraged to take the steps necessary to prepare for ferocious fun in Baltimore. The invasion begins Saturday, May 23, 2009.

The Baltimore Area Convention and Visitors Association (BACVA), the Maryland Science Center, the National Aquarium, and Baltimore’s Waterfront Partnership have formed a unique marketing partnership to promote summer visitation to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.
