McKeldin Square

McKeldin Square is an area of Downtown Baltimore, located near the Inner Harbor at the corners of Pratt and Light Streets.

The square, with its fountain, serves as a gateway to the Inner Harbor.[1][2]

McKeldin Square has been designated as Baltimore's zone for protests, where it is legal to excercise one's First Amendment rights and pass out pamphlets.[3] Permits are required for groups with groups of 25 or more requiring a permit. On October 4, 2011, it became the location of the Occupy Baltimore protests until their December 13 eviction.
