Here’s everything you should do this weekend in Baltimore

There’s nothing like a Nor’easter to remind us that it isn’t quite spring yet. Between the power outages and frigid conditions, we’re overdue for a sunny day and some weekend fun. Temperatures will be hovering right around 50 degrees this weekend, but even better than that, there’s no sign of precipitation. Leave those umbrellas and rain coats at come, and go do something fun instead! Here’s everything you should do this weekend in Baltimore:



Friday

Biggie and Burgers at The Sand Gallery

If there’s one word to describe these burgers, it would definitely be “Juicy.” The Sand Gallery, home to Baltimore’s mini hip hop museum, is hosting their first dinner pop up event by highlighting a curated playlist of Notorious B.I.G. songs and features. The full menu includes shrimp burger sliders, jalapeño sliders, biggie mac with Welch’s grape, and Brooklyn Way mac. Visitors have the opportunity to purchase a meal ticket and participate in a number of games and tours sponsored by the gallery. Bring your appetite on Friday to check out one of Baltimore’s most exciting new gallery exhibits.

Game Night at Zeke’s Coffee

Board games, coffee, and….. meatball subs? Well, this Friday’s game night at Zeke’s coffee has all three. In honor of National Meatball Day, Zeke’s will be serving (you guessed it) meatball subs throughout the evening to pair with their assorted selection of nostalgia-inducing board games (Yahtzee, Boggle, Monopoly, Uno, Trouble, Sorry, and Scrabble). Visitors are encouraged to add to the family fun by bringing their own board games.

House in the Hall at The Lithuanian Hall

While normally a cultural center and events space, The Lithuanian Hall knows how to turn up, hosting their fourth installment of House in the Hall on Friday night. This time they are returning with new music and videos to keep the crowd dancing all night. There will also be a cash bar (ATM availble) with drink specials for visitors. It’s basically like going to a club in Europe, but without the plane ticket.

Kitchen Takeover at Peabody Heights Brewery

Food by Dooby’s. Beer by Peabody Heights Brewery. Coffee by Vent Coffee Roasters. No reservations required. Need I say more?

Open Mic Night at The Creative Labs

The monthly open mic series at The Creative Labs returns on Friday night to showcase many of the City’s best performing artists. Sign up begins at exactly 8:00 PM, and all performers are encouraged to sign up. Visitors also have the option of tapping into their creative side by donating artwork in exchange for free admission. All donated artwork will be hung in their entrance gallery and sold through a silent auction to event goers.

Saturday

Awesome – Art Addiction at The Impact Hub

On Saturday night, The Impact Hub hosts their Art Addiction series focused on all things related the performing arts. This installment features the spoken word duo W4ML (Writing for My Life), former HBO Def Jam poet M’reld Green, and poetry slam champion Jacob Mayberry. It’s an interactive night of comedy, visual arts, poetry, thought, and song. If that’s not enticing enough, the event doubles as a birthday celebration for Baltimore artist Archie the Messenger. If that’s not enticing enough, there will be food.

Brunch at the Shop at Bushelers of Baltimore

Brunch is great. “Sew” are the Bushelers of Baltimore. So much so, that they were recently featured in the March issue of Baltimore magazine. In order to celebrate, they are hosting a brunch party in collaboration with Vent Coffee Roasters. There will be coffee (lots of it), small bites, music, and mimosas. Even better, visitors will be able to tour the shop, learn the basics of tailoring, ask questions, and see demonstrations of the alteration process.

Bollymore at The Motor House

Inspired by the sounds, stories, and individuals from the Indian subcontinent, Bollymore is a performance like no other, celebrating the arts and culture of the South Asian diaspora. It’s a group of cool people doing dope shit. This event is expected to sell out, so grab your tickets ahead of time to secure your seat. The full list of performers and DJs is also available on the event Facebook page.

Fells Point Art Loop at Participating Fells Point Art Galleries

With the second Nor’easter of the year behind us, few things sound better than enjoying a casual stroll through a picturesque neighborhood on a brisk day? At the Fells Point Art Loop, you get all that and more! It is a chance meet the artists who make the neighborhood special, support local business, enjoy some light fare, and get your daily steps in.

Puppet Slamwich at Black Cherry Puppet Theater

It’s an evening of comedy, performance, and puppets at the Black Cherry Puppet Theater with two shows on Saturday night. The event is expected to sell out, so “pull some strings” to rearrange your schedule and secure tickets as soon as possible.

Woodburning Workshop at A Workshop of Our Own

For the overly ambitious crafty friend in your life, A Workshop of Our Own is hosting a class dedicated to exploring the aesthetics and practice of wood decoration. Participants will learn about the different methods for burning graphics onto the surface of wood. The workshop will be taught by Baltimore City teacher and print artist Erin Nutsugah, and all tools will be provided.

Sunday

Baltimore St. Patrick’s Day Parade at Washington Monument

Top o’ the morning to ya! Baltimore’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade makes its 63rd appearance on Sunday with floats, marching bands, performers, and lots of people wearing green. The parade begins at the Washington Monument and concludes in the Inner Harbor.

Workout and Whiskey at Sagamore Spirit

You know what they say: There’s never a wrong time for pilates or whiskey, right? Sagamore Spirit is hosting a pilates class located in the boiler room of their distillery, and it includes a “sneak peak” tour of the facility. Following the class, each guest will get a sample of our signature product (aka whiskey), along with some local snacks and juices. Start the day off with a full body workout and then rehydrate with whiskey. What could possible go wrong.

Vision Boards and Cocktails at Dovecote Cafe

For those looking for a different type of workout (aka without the exercising part), Dovecote Cafe is hosting a vision board seminar (with cocktails) on Sunday morning to plan, focus, and set goals for the remainder of the year. As part of their self-care Sunday series, the meeting promotes personal wellness and communal support for those striving for a better 2018.
