What You Can Expect at Phoenix Rising 2023

Our annual fundraising event Phoenix Rising is a time to gather with colleagues, partners, and supporters to celebrate our ongoing work rehabilitating important historic structures, providing grants to at-risk historic places, training tradespeople, advocating for preservation policies, and fighting for common sense smart growth in some of the fastest-growing communities in Maryland. Each year is a new venue and feel, but two important things remain consistent: everyone has fun and it’s a major source of funding for our growing programming throughout the year.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT THIS YEAR

We’ll be back in Baltimore, up the street from our offices, at the Heron Room at Mill No. 1. The Heron Room is in a beautiful historic building along the Jones Falls where we’ll have access to both indoor and outdoor space.
We’ll have a live band, open bar, and dinner catered by a Baltimore favorite, Cosima. Cosima is steps away from the Heron Room, and will be open exclusively for our guests that evening.
We’re switching back to a weekday evening this year – Thursday, November 2nd from 5-8p – so attendees can join us straight from the office!
Our Best of Maryland awards will be presented in categories like Stewardship, Artisan, and Preservation Champion.

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US

In addition to an evening of celebration, entertainment, and good food, Phoenix Rising is a great way to network with other Maryland professionals in – and outside of – the preservation field.
This is our largest fundraising event of the year and helps support our programming like advocacy, preservation services, and historic rehabilitation projects.
