Calendar of Events
Orioles Opening Day
ORIOLE PARK AT CAMDEN YARDS
MARCH 29
Batter up! There is nothing like the roar
of the crowd on the first day of baseball season. Downtown Baltimore turns into
a sea of orange as the Orioles open the season against the Minnesota Twins. Camden Yards, which became the inspiration for most of the new retro- looking ballparks when it debuted in 1992, is a charming setting to unwind after a day of meetings.
Maryland Film Festival
STATION NORTH ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT
MAY2-6
The annual five-day event presents top-notch film and video work from all over the world, with many filmmakers on hand to discuss their work. In addition
to contemporary film, a vintage silent film with live musical accompaniment, a classic 3-D film, and a feature selected and hosted by legendary filmmaker John Waters are part of the festival.
Flower Mart

Flower Mart is Baltimore’s traditional rite-of-spring festival in historic Mount Vernon.
