EcoLoop is Baltimore’s community waste diversion event where food, creativity, and sustainability come full circle.
Join us for a hands-on, family-friendly day that celebrates how everyday discarded materials can be transformed into shared resources, art, and opportunity. From food scrap cooking demos to clothing swaps and creative reuse workshops, EcoLoop connects residents to practical, joyful ways to reduce waste and build a more sustainable Baltimore.
Come learn, play, fix, taste, swap, and connect with organizations working across the city to help us rethink waste because when we close the loop, we all win. Rain or Shine event.

Volunteers from the Station North Tool Library, Baltimore Bicycle Works, Velocipede, and BYKE will provide guidance and support to help get your bike in shape for the season. Repairs are not guaranteed. If your bike needs a part replacement, please plan to bring it with you to the clinic as they may not have the right part for your specific bike.
