Flower Mart is getting closer

Flower Mart is scheduled for May 1 and 2 at Mount Vernon Place, with local flower and plant vendors, artisans, nonprofits, and food suppliers expected. Baltimore does not just decorate for spring; it makes a whole civic stroll out of it.

The market has quiet hours

The Baltimore Farmers Market notes Quiet Shopping Hours from 7 to 9 a.m. on Sundays. Honestly, a gentler early market window under the JFX sounds like the city whispering "good morning" before the rush.

The Zoo is walking through 150 years

The Maryland Zoo's 150th anniversary programming includes Walking Through Zoo History tours from April 11 through October 7, exploring early landmarks and the story of the Zoo's first elephant, Mary Ann. Cute and historic can share a bench.
