Federal Hill Jazz & Blues Festival – This free event is known for the great music, but you’ll also find arts & crafts vendors, and delicious food and drinks!

Honfest is back for their annual celebration of “Bawlmer’s” hard-working women, and if you’ve never been, you’re missing out. Held in Baltimore’s Hampden neighborhood, the high-hair and wacky outfits are in great supply, and there is fun for everyone!

Sail Baltimore’s Beer, Boats & Ballads! For those who are all about the maritime life, Sail Baltimore’s annual fundraiser is right up your alley. Come an have an evening of beer, food, music, silent auction, raffles and more!

Pier 5 Hotel Wedding by Megan Beth

Posted May 22, 2013 | By Serena Severtson

Today’s lovely wedding at the Pier 5 Hotel comes to you from Megan Beth. Christine and Nick met during the summer before their senior year at UMD and, after seeing each other at events with mutual friends, they eventually hit it off! Their wedding is full of Baltimore pride, stunning purple details, and a love for Natty Boh! We’ll let Megan take it from here:

“Christine’s vision for the wedding was a beautiful Baltimore wedding full of touches from their favorite city, rich purples, silver, and LOTS of sparkle. Christine set the tone with her sparkle sash, earrings, bracelet, and a rhinestone broach on her bouquet. They incorporated their love for their city with Natty Boh and Utz Girl champagne glasses, and the groomsmen all had little Natty Boh mustache cufflinks. They wed in the same Baltimore church that Christine’s grandparents wed in some 60+ years prior, and danced the night away, even surprising Nick with a flash mob Call Me Maybe, overlooking all of the Inner Harbor, at the Pier V Hotel.”
