Things to Do in Baltimore This Weekend:

To be honest, I do not think I can handle another rainy weekend. I totally understand why rain is important and also how the water cycle kind of allows human life to prosper. But that being said, enough is enough. Can we just have one weekend without worrying about thunderstorms? Anywho, don’t let that stop you from enjoying your weekend. Here’s everything to do in Baltimore this weekend:

Friday

Goodbye UNION Avenue at UNION Craft Brewing

You know what they say, “If you love something, you need to let it go.” Rom com cliches aside, it’s time to say goodbye to one of Baltimore’s most beloved establishments and celebrate their transition to a bigger and better space with a good ole fashioned parking lot party. Just promise not to cry or get too emotional, okay?

Hack for Impact at Roadi

Calling all coders! Hack for Impact is a hackathon-style event that brings together innovators and community leaders to work together to create social change. Using technology and public policy, teams will attempt to solve real-world problems and the most innovative solutions will be announced at the end of the event.

Station North Tool Library Open House at Station North Tool Library

One of the downsides of living in an apartment is the lack of space to do major craft projects. Granted, this has not stopped me from previously refurbishing a coffee table, assembling shelves, and building a mug hanging rack. But if I had known about Station North Tool Library at the times of these projects, I would like to think they could have made my life a lot easier. For anyone else who has been struggling to complete their improvement projects due to lack of space, check out their open house and

Super Art Fight: 10th Anniversary Show at The Ottobar

To be honest, I’m not super hip to the background story of Super Art Fight. But I can tell you that celebrating the 10th anniversary of anything, is quite an impressive accomplishment. Spend your Friday night celebrating one of the city’s most unique and creative displays of artwork. If you need a better description of the event, check out this video explaining one of their recent events.

Saturday

7th Annual Taste of Three Cities at Patterson Park

Philly may have won the Super Bowl. DC may be in the Stanley Cup Final (As I’ve been informed by every single one of my co-workers). But Baltimore has food trucks! The Taste of Three Cities is a competitive food truck festival with representatives from all the Mid-Atlantic’s major metropolitan areas. There will be over 50 food vendors to go along with live music and activities. Spend your Saturday at Patterson Park proving why Baltimore is better than Philly and DC.

Baltimore Beach Fest at Sandlot

If you played in a Volo City league this spring, it’s time to celebrate the blood, sweat, and tears you put into showing up on time for every game with Baltimore Beach Fest at Sandlot. The beach party will have plenty of games to continue in the competitive spirit of friendly recreational sports leagues, and those who RSVP in advance to the event will receive a free beer. It’s incredible – Receiving free alcohol for doing something responsible.

Baltimore X-Fest at Baltimore Improv Group

X-Fest is Baltimore’s newest comedy festival, and features only women and other gender minority performers. It’s a chance to promote the voices (and jokes) of those who often feel marginalized in the comedy scene. Don’t be freaked out by the picture of a spider on the event Facebook page. I promise it is not real.

June Open House at Downtown Sailing Center

If you’ve ever wanted to sing songs from Moana while sailing around the harbor but realized that sailing is kinda hard to do if you do not have a boat, then it’s your lucky day. The Downtown Sailing Center is opening their piers for a free sail on Saturday afternoon. The organization will also have more information about sailing classes, membership, and other volunteering opportunities as well. Just remember to download the Moana soundtrack because from personal experience, it is difficult to stream music in the middle of the harbor.

Ritmo Workshop: Printing with Dancing Feet at The Holy Underground

Let’s just start at the beginning and try to explain what is going on here. Ritmo Workshops is a gathering of people who create uniquely patterned tapestries by impressing prints onto fabric through pressure inducing hand and feet movements. Now let’s take things a step further. This upcoming workshop is set to live music. So the visitor’s dancing feet will be used to print on the fabric. Sounds cool, right?

Spring Homegrown Makers Market at Walther Gardens

Have you ever looked at something and thought, “man that looks cool. I wish I could do that.” Well the Spring Homegrown Makers Market is here to provide you with the resources to do you own cool things. Even better, the market is being set up in a garden, and plants have been scientifically proven to make things cooler.

Winter in America: Gil Scott-Heron Tribute at the Creative Alliance

So if you’re super hip, you probably already know who Gil Scott-Heron is, and understand why it’s important to go to his tribute at the Creative Alliance. If you’re a normal amount of hip, you probably know Gil Scott-Hernon as the guy who sings the “Revolution Will Not Be Televised” song. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, just listen to the song, and then go to the tribute.

Sunday

BubbleBall at Patterson Park

You’ve seen it online, but have you ever wanted to play it in real life? BubbleBall, the viral sensation of wearing a squishy ball suit to protect athletes from collision while simultaneously encouraging it, makes an appearance at Patterson Park on Sunday. Reserve your tickets ahead of time, because this event is set to sell out.

Italian Festival at St. Anthony’s Church

One of Baltimore’s longest-running festivals returns for another installment on Sunday. Opened in 1904, the Italian Festival hosted by St. Anthony’s Church is an annual street fair in the center of Little Italy. There will be music, games, vendors, plenty of Italian treats, and of course, bocce.

Rock N’ Swap Record Fair at Baltimore Soundstage

The Rock N’ Swap Record Fair returns to Baltimore Soundstage on Sunday, but this installment is bringing a little more excitement. With an opec mic stage, local art marketplace, and discounts on merch, there’s plenty of reasons to spend your Sunday crate digging.
