Storytime Today, ArtWalk Tomorrow, And A Future Harbor Best Friend

Pennsylvania Avenue has a free family storytime on the calendar today, MICA is about to turn Mount Royal into one big open-house delight tomorrow, and BARCS has another dangerously persuasive adoption stop coming to Port Covington next week.

Pennsylvania Avenue has a very solid after-school plan for little Baltimore bookworms today

Pratt has Family Storytime set for Thursday, May 14, 2026 at 4 p.m. at the Pennsylvania Avenue branch, with stories, movement, songs, and room for kids ages 2 to 5 to get a little noisy in a fully respectable way. Free library joy in the middle of the week is exactly the kind of neighborhood sweetness that keeps this town stitched together.

MICA is about to give Baltimore one of its favorite annual excuses to wander around saying wow

The MICA ArtWalk 2026 Opening Celebration starts Friday, May 15, 2026 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., and the bigger free public exhibition runs through Commencement Weekend with thousands of student works, food trucks, and actual conversations with the artists. If you enjoy a spring evening where everybody feels like a proud cousin, Mount Royal is your move.

Next week’s cutest possible errand is meeting a shelter pet at Under Armour

BARCS says UnderDog Adoption Days kick off Thursday, May 21, 2026 from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Under Armour Brand House in Baltimore, with adoptable cats and dogs, pet goodies, giveaways, and the BFF Waggin’ rolling through. Very few local shopping trips end with a new roommate and a better life story, but this one absolutely could.
