The
second floor of the Fava Building, 1840s City Lites, is an exciting
new venue for meetings and parties. City Lites boasts a fun lounge-like atmosphere
complete with overstuffed couches and the historic White Tower
Diner, a centerpiece attraction when the building housed the Baltimore City Life
Museums. This unique setting is ideal for cocktail parties, networking events,
fundraisers, bar and bat mitzvahs, and other corporate and private events.
The City Lites conference room may also be reserved for meetings, seminars and conferences. For mid-week conference room rental rates, click here.
