Make the Season Bright
The Charm City Lights are back on from November 30th until January 1st in Druid Hill Park! Did you know it takes over 250,000 lights to make this dazzling annual display?
Olde Tyme Christmas has events throughout the day on December 7th, but the showstopper is a tree lighting and lighted boat parade starting at 5:45 pm. Nothing says Christmas in Maryland quite like a light show on the harbor.
Festive Flavors
No figgy pudding here! Our next set of events is perfect for foodies. First, you can join Santa for breakfast at Mobtown Brewing on Saturday, December 14th starting at 10 am. There will be pancakes and photo ops galore.
If you can’t make breakfast, there’s also the Fell’s Point Egg Nog Tasting Tour on the 14th from 1:30-4:30 pm. Sip on some ‘nog while you shop and cast your vote for the best rendition of this beloved seasonal bev. Tickets are just $25, but they’re sure to sell out, so snag some soon.
If you’re more of a dessert person, you can still participate in a crawl! Check out the 4th annual Cookie Crawl on December 18th from 4-8 pm. Stores throughout the neighborhood will be giving out complimentary cookies.
Looking for a unique Christmas Eve activity? There’s a (3-course, gourmet, delicious!) dinner cruise departing from the Inner Harbor at 6 pm. Make sure to reserve your seats early.
Get Gifting
This season, shop small! Support our city’s talented makers and shop one-of-a-kind gifts for everyone on your list. Two special markets are coming to Baltimore this winter.
The first is Christmas Village in Inner Harbor. They’re returning for their 11th year, featuring over 70 incredible vendors. While you peruse, you can sip on European-inspired food and drink and enjoy an abundance of ambiance.
You can also discover handmade, one-of-a-kind gifts at the Holiday Heap hosted at Space 2640. This market brings over 40 artisans to Charm City on December 14th, starting at 10 am.
More Ways to Be Merry
Holly-Days at the Maryland Zoo is one of Charm City’s all-time favorite holiday events, running through the end of the year. Each weekend is a different theme, so check out the full list.
Mobtown Brewing is also hosting a movie night this winter! They’re screening Die Hard on Friday, December 13th at 7 pm. Bring your friends and enjoy a beer or two! It’s debatably a Christmas movie, but it’s definitely a classic.
Speaking of classics, there’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey! Her Christmas Time tour is stopping in Baltimore on December 7th at CFG Bank Arena. Tickets are still available!
Last but not least, don’t miss Baltimore’s very own Polar Express. The Reindeer Railway is coming through with train rides, holiday lights, and festive fun. The event will be hosted by the B&O Railroad Museum on Sunday, December 29th from 6-8 pm.

Cruises run Thursday-Sunday and depart from the Fells Point-Broadway Pier stop.
Crabs On the Water at Captain James
Baltimore crabs are an essential part of the city’s cuisine, and no locale is as synonymous with the Baltimore staple as Captain James Crab House. Since 1979, this boat-shaped restaurant has been delivering some of Baltimore's best crab, as has the awards to prove it. Not only are their crabs delicious, but their “all you can eat” deal ensures you’ll get maximum bang for your buck!
Try a Baltimore Snowball
Almost as iconic as Baltimore crabs are Baltimore snowballs, a sweet frozen treat that’s both tasty and refreshing. The shaved ice dessert comes in a variety of flavors and can be found all over the city, including Crushed Velvet in Federal Hill. Summer nights aren’t complete without a delicious snowball, so make sure to try one as soon as possible!
Outdoor Movies at Flicks On the Hill
It’s a known fact: movies are better outside. That’s why the American Visionary Art Museum is bringing back their Flicks On the Hill series, an under-the-stars movie viewing experience.

Summer and volleyball are synonymous, and there’s no better place in Baltimore to tune up your skills and have some friendly competition than at Baltimore Beach.

Catch an Orioles Game at Camden Yards
Camden Yards is one of the best stadiums in the MLB, and Baltimore is proud to be its home. Watch Gunnar Henderson and the rest of the Orioles continue their great season and experience the electric atmosphere Camden Yards is known for. Whether you’re a diehard fan or just in it for the stadium food, Camden Yards is a must-visit this summer!
Enjoy Ice Cream at BMore Licks
If summer had an official dessert, it would be ice cream. BMore Licks is home to some of the best homemade ice cream in Baltimore. Flavors rotate daily, but some recurring favorites include Holy Cannoli, Vanilla Nutella, and Samoa. BMore Licks has been pleasing taste buds for years, so make sure to try one (or more) of their over 100 flavors!

Coffee lovers, rejoice—Friday, September 29, is National Coffee Day! There’s nothing quite like a fresh cup of morning brew, and here in Baltimore, we’re lucky to have so many options available to us. Let’s take a look at the best places to get coffee in Baltimore for National Coffee Day and beyond!
Ceremony Coffee
It doesn’t get more artisanal than Ceremony Coffee in Harbor Point. Whether you’re looking for a bag of single origin beans, a Cortado, or just a simple cup of coffee, Ceremony has got you covered. Be sure to try their White Shakerato for a special treat.
Kneads Bakeshop
Relatively new to the Baltimore coffee scene is Kneads in Harbor East. Their large, elegant space makes it the perfect place to grab a cup of Joe with a friend for National Coffee Day. From Espressos, to Americanos, to Lattes, Kneads has got you covered. You’ll definitely want to pair your coffee with one of their gourmet donuts!
Pitango Bakery Cafe
When you think of Pitango, you may think gelato, but did you know they also have a cafe just down the street in Fells Point? The Pitango Bakery Cafe offers a beautiful view of the harbor, and you can enjoy it while sipping a hand-crafted caffeinated beverage. From a Macchiato to a Cafe au Lait, Pitango’s coffee is truly something to be savored. You can even take home one of their house blends of beans.
Order and Chaos
If you enjoy good design and a modern aesthetic, then you’ll definitely want to check out Order and Chaos in Federal Hill. It’s connected to, and run by, an advertising agency, and you can even see into their unique office space from the shop. Their bold vibe matches their bold coffee flavors, like their Pumpkin Cheesecake Latte, or Peach Cobbler Latte.
Artifact Coffee
You’ll want to bring a friend to Artifact Coffee in Hampden for National Coffee Day. While you chat, you can share a Chemex of Ethiopian coffee. If lattes are more your style, then be sure to try the Lavender Latte, made with fresh local lavender from Star Bright Farm.
Cafe Dear Leon
Cafe Dear Leon in Canton is a true neighborhood favorite. Depending on when you go, you may have to wait in line, but it will be worth the wait! Their Pumpkin Spiced Latte, or PSL, simply cannot be beat, and who doesn’t love a good Flat White? While you’re there, be sure to pick up one of their delectable pastries!

The Fourth of July is most famously known as the day where the United States declared its independence from Britain, but did you know that Maryland’s involvement in the revolutionary war was extremely important in gaining it? Baltimore is also the birthplace of our anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. The song was written after a British onslaught known as the Battle of Baltimore where our flag flew victorious after what looked like a complete loss.
If you’re looking to celebrate our independence day, then we at Spinnaker Bay have a list of places and events for you to check out.
If you head over to Federal Hill, there will be two events you can check out. One event is the BMI’s Independence Day Celebration, where you can enjoy a waterfront view of the glorious fireworks show. The other event is the AVAM’s 4th of July Pet Parade & Talent Show! At this event, you are allowed to bring your pet, fluffy, scally, or feathery, and march through AVAM’s campus, followed by a chance to reveal your pet’s special talents. This exciting event starts at 9am, so you can still catch the fireworks show at night.
Over at nearby Fort McHenry in Locust Point is the perfect chance to learn more about the origins of our anthem and independence day. Starting at 10 am, you can enjoy several festivities, including learning about how the holiday was celebrated in the early republic, all while also enjoying live music.
Over at the Inner Harbor is the chance to see another showcase of 4th of July fireworks. Grab some food from the Red, White, and Blue picnic and listen to live music from 4 to 6pm, as well as other attractions to enjoy. Be sure to stick around for the whole event, because it all ends with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra playing along with the fireworks display! This is the highlight of summer, so if you can, be sure to check it out.
Lastly, we have the Cherry Hill Arts and Music Waterfront Festival. This event has performances from local, regional, and national artists, as well as a selection of different activities for kids and adults alike! Celebrate Cherry Hill’s historical and cultural significance on Independence Day, all ending with a fantastic fireworks display over the water.
We hope that you have a lovely holiday! Be sure to stay safe this weekend and savor your independence.

Happy Memorial Day, Spinnaker residents! This long weekend is the unofficial kick-off to summer. However, Memorial Day represents more than an extra day off work. We’d also like to take the opportunity to honor those who sacrificed their lives in service and extend our gratitude to their families.
Destinations to Discover
Want to get away this Memorial Day Weekend? We’ve selected some of our favorite destinations within driving distance that are perfect for a long weekend trip.
Beaches
Cape Charles Beach – 4 hours from Baltimore
Nestled along Virginia's eastern shore, Cape Charles beach is a fantastic option for MDW. This serene public beach has very few waves, making it ideal for a peaceful swim. Between beach visits, you can stroll through the town's picturesque neighborhoods and historic architecture.
Maryland’s Coast – 2.5 hours from Baltimore
Want to stay in our home state? No problem. There is plenty to see and do along the coast of Maryland, including nightlife in Ocean City. Or, visit Assateague Island for a once-in-a-lifetime view of wild horses. Or, get a dose of small-town living by visiting one (or a few!) of the cute coastal towns like Berlin, Snow Hill, or Pocomoke.
Rehoboth Beach – 2.5 hours from Baltimore
Delaware’s Rehoboth Beach is another great getaway. There, you can get the best of both worlds with a rejuvenating beach day and a fun night out on the vibrant boardwalk. Plus, you can take advantage of Delaware’s tax-free shopping!
Small Towns
Berkeley Springs – 1.5 hours from Baltimore
Berkeley Springs, West Virginia has it all – historic charm, luxurious spas, scenic state parks, and more. It's a great destination for large groups, because there's truly something for everyone.
Lancaster – 1.5 hours from Baltimore
Slow down and reconnect with a slower pace of life this Memorial Day Weekend. Visit Amish Country in Lancaster, PA to experience authentic Amish traditions and cuisine. Try a buggy ride, tour a farmhouse, and take the opportunity to appreciate the gorgeous Pennsylvanian landscape. Then, come back to modern times and explore one of the breweries or eateries in downtown Lancaster.
Adventurous Locales
Deep Creek – 1 hour from Baltimore
If you love outdoor adventures, visit Deep Creek. This region is home to over 40 hiking and biking trails, so you'll never run out of room to roam. Enjoy gorgeous lake views, mountain vistas, and plenty more.
Harpers Ferry – 1 hour from Baltimore
If you haven't been to Harpers Ferry yet, MDW is a great time to visit. History lovers can explore the dozens of historic sites, while outdoorsy types can get their steps in along 20 miles of hiking trails. There’s also great opportunities for biking, climbing, and picnicking in the park.

Earth Day is celebrated on April 22nd to raise awareness about environmental issues and promote sustainability. The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970, and it is widely credited with helping to launch the modern environmental movement. The event has since become a global phenomenon, with millions of people around the world participating in activities that promote environmental awareness and protection.
Here’s how you can celebrate Earth Day in Baltimore:
Attend an Earth Day Clean-up Event
Check out these Baltimore Earth Day events, where you can help make Baltimore beautiful:
On Saturday, April 22, from 9 a.m. until noon, head over to Patterson Park for an Earth Day Extravaganza. You can help care for young trees, plant new trees, pick up trash, edge walkways, garden and so much more. Best of all, there’s free coffee!
O'Donnell Square will also be hosting an Earth Day Community Clean-Up & Seed Swap on Saturday, April 22, at 10am. You can bring seeds, plants, and equipment to help spruce up the park's gardens. If you don't have a green thumb, you can still help pick up around the park.
If you’re looking to get a workout in and help the earth, try the Hands On HIIT Earth Day Clean-Up at Canton Waterfront Park on Sunday, April 23rd at 11am. Plan to bring a yoga mat for the workout, but clean-up gear will be provided.
Go Plastic-Free
To celebrate Earth Day, you can pledge to go plastic-free for the day, the week, or vow to adopt a plastic-free lifestyle. Bring a reusable water bottle and shopping bags, and try to avoid single-use plastic products like straws and utensils.
Attend a Farmer’s Market
Supporting local farmers and purchasing locally-sourced food is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and support sustainable agriculture. Visit one of Baltimore’s many farmer’s markets to celebrate Earth Day while also enjoying fresh, healthy produce.
Take Public Transportation
Taking public transportation, biking, or walking instead of driving is an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and celebrate Earth Day. In Baltimore, be sure to check out the Charm City Circulator, a free, eco-friendly transportation option that can take you around the city without contributing to air pollution.
Happy Earth Day
Earth Day is an important day that reminds us of the importance of environmental protection and sustainability. By taking action and making small changes, we can all contribute to a healthier, more sustainable Baltimore and planet.
