Pigtown is a vibrant community in Baltimore, celebrated for its cultural and economic diversity, offering an eclectic mix of shops, parks, and restaurants. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, residents and visitors alike find a unique sense of community in this lively neighborhood located in the southwest corner of downtown, just steps away from major landmarks such as Camden Yards and MT Bank Stadium.
The area's name, Pigtown, originated in the 1840s when railroad workers, who settled here during the construction of America's first railroad system, would unload pigs from cargo railcars at nearby platforms. This historical connection contributes to the neighborhood's charm, exemplified by events like the annual Pigtown Festival, which showcases local food, music, and the famed pig races, marking Baltimore's biggest neighborhood celebration.
