Things to Do in Baltimore This Weekend:

I can’t handle it anymore. It’s just going to rain forever and ever. Like come on. This is got to be the sixth straight weekend where there’s been some sort of significant rain? Looks like our two options are either have fun, or move. I’m going to have fun. Here’s everything you should do in Baltimore this weekend:



Friday

Black Panther Screening at BrwnTek

I’m going to be totally honest here…. Still have not seen Black Panther. Put down your pitchforks and let me try to explain myself for a second: It’s not that I didn’t want to go see it. I really did. I love Michael B. Jordan just as much as (if not more so than) the next person. But I’m notoriously bad at seeing movies in theaters, and unless you sit me down and physically make me watch something it’s probably not going to happen. Spending time at the movie theater is time I could be spending eating out or cooking. It’s basically a business decision. That being said, I promise I will see it soon. But everyone else should definitely re-watch it with BrwnTek and listen to their discussion throughout the movie.

CreateScape at The Creative Labs

For those interested in learning more about Baltimore’s DIY arts scene, The Creative Labs is hosting their inaugural CreateScape, a community organized open house showcasing all of the creative talent in Charm City. General entry is free for all visitors and it includes access to the event’s Street Art Jam, Artisan Vendor Market, BBQ, Live DJ’s, Dance Battle, and series of interactive art projects. Donations are encouraged to support the artists, vendors, and performers who make Baltimore such a unique place.

From College Dropout to _______ : A Complete Kanye West Discussion at Mini Hip Hop Museum

I miss the old Kanye. Before he could troll Kanye. Broke all the molds Kanye. Put on a show Kanye. I hate the new Kanye. The MAGA crew Kanye. Got something to prove Kanye. Is that the true Kanye? I miss the heat Kanye. Beat 50 in the beef Kanye. I gotta say, at that time I’d like to meet Kanye. See I mention Kanye. Bring into question Kanye. Cause all the shit that he be talking need some checkin’ Kanye. I used to love Kanye. I used to love Kanye. I even had the stunner shades, I thought I was Kanye. What if Kanye had a talk about Kanye called “From the College Droupout to ____ “? Man that’d be so Kanye! Are we above Kanye? Do we still love Kanye? But I still love this like Kanye loves Kanye.

SoBo Sunsets at The Port

One time, J. Cole said, “Mama I ain’t done yet / Sit back and watch your sunrise / kick back and know yo son set.” This is a roundabout way of saying sunsets tend to be pretty special occasions. So combining sunsets with an outdoor field party featuring music, games, cocktails, and food trucks sounds like a pretty good time to me.

Saturday

Baltimore Floatilla at Canton Waterfront Park

Everyone wants a clean harbor. If you don’t, then you’re a bad person (sorry, not sorry). If you’re a good person, then you’ll be out showing your support in the fight to make the harbor cleaner and more accessible. Proceeds from the event will go to the restoration of the Inner Harbor, and sponsor environmental field trips for Baltimore City students. More importantly, the event is a chance to get a little closer to the Baltimore icon, Mr. Trash Wheel.

Bike & Brunch Neighborhood Tour at Harbor East Bike Share

Looking for a fun social activity that combines food, light exercise, and a focus on the local community? Well Bike & Brunch returns for its June installment to highlight the history, culture, and stories of Baltimore’s history along with its new bikeshare. Full event details and expectations for riders are available on the Facebook event page and Eventbrite ticket link.

Brewers Hill Porch and Patio Crawl at Brewers Hill

Following in the theme of fun social activities that combine food, light, exercise, and a focus on the local community, Saturday afternoon is also the inaugural Brewers Hill Porch and Patio Crawl. Participating houses will be serving drinks and snacks to visitors and purchase of event tickets includes a free beer coozie. Proceeds from the event will go to the Brewers Hill Neighborhood Association.

Dave Chappelle at The Lyric

There’s not much to say about Dave Chappelle that hasn’t been said before. But what I can say is: Does anyone have extra tickets to this show? And if so, would they be willing to give a discount to honor the work put into informing the great citizens of Baltimore about all of their fun neighborhood events? No?? Well it was worth a shot….

Feastival | A Food Event for a Cure at Sandlot

In an event to benefit the Maryland Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Sandlot is opening their doors (and sand dunes) to host Feastival, A Food Event for a Cure. It is a collection of Baltimore’s rising culinary stars, best bites, and specialty drinks. There’s never been a more delicious excuse to head to the beach. Just come prepared in case there’s a heavy thunderstorm since we apparently cannot have fun on the weekends anymore.

Free Pop-Up Spin Class at Park Charles

Give me free anything and you’ve immediately got my attention. So a free spin class seems like a great excuse to get out of bed on Saturday morning. Register in advance to save your spot in the class.

Nights on the Fringe at Baltimore Theatre Project

Nights on the Fringe is a weekend-long curated cabaret hosted by the Baltimore Theatre Project. It brings together local performers for a unique night of performances ranging from puppetry to spoken word. It’s a chance to get out and experience Baltimore’s underground arts scene in a new way.

Sunday

Friends of Patterson Park Concert at Patterson Park

In case anyone was wondering, “Friends of Patterson Park” would be an awesome band awesome. So in a weird way, I guess it’s fitting that the neighborhood organization is hosting the first of their summer concert series with Caleb Stine as the headliner. In case anyone else was wondering, “Pagoda” would definitely be the debut album from the fictitious “Friends of Patterson Park.”

Polish FunFest at Sacred Heart of Mary Church

Is a Sunday Funday complete without going to a FunFest? Well we can not only get the answer to this question at the Polish FunFest, but also enjoy traditional Polish food, activities, and dance as well. It’s a two-for-one, but it should really be called a two-for-fun…

Tour dem Parks, Hon at Druid Hill Park

It’s basically like the Tour de France. Except if you took the race from the French Alps and put it in Druid Hill Park. Baltimore’s premier bike race returns for its 15th installment with riders able to choose from 4 courses (varying between 5 and 35 miles). There will even be an official BBQ for riders after completion of the race with drug testing to follow the celebration (this is just a joke – apparently there is lots of performance enhancing drugs in cycling).

Free Yoga Class at The Baltimore Farmer’s Market

If you’re already going to be at the Farmer’s Market on Sunday, then you might as well register in advance for their free yoga class as well. I’ve heard that doing a yoga class while holding all of your wicker baskets and reusable tote bags is great for your core.
