MemorialDay
Weekend Highlights: 5/22-5/24
May 21, 2009
Guess what? It's almost weekend time again. And this weekend is not just any weekend, for it's the unofficial start of the summer season. So bust out the sunscreen, shimmy into your swimsuit and fire up the barbeque grill. It's time to get this three-day party started!
I Spy... Spring! - Anita C. Leight Estuary Center, 700 Otter Point Road, Abingdon, 410-612-1688 (Reservations required)
Saturday, 1:30-2:30 p.m.; Ages: 6-12
Got a kid who's into "I Spy"? Then come on out for this nature-inspired version of the classic game. Every participant will win a prize . . . as if an idyllic Saturday afternoon walk through the woods isn't prize enough.
Baltimore Herb Festival - Leakin Park, 1900 Eagle Drive, Baltimore, 410-323-0022
Saturday, 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
If you you're into herbs--and heck, who isn't?--then you're going to love the Baltimore Herb Festival, which is now in its 22nd year. Herbs, as you may have guessed, are the main attractions, but you can also expect to find tasty food, miniature train rides and animal friends from the neighboring Carrie Murray Nature Center.
Egg Drop Contest - College Park Aviation Museum, 1985 Corporal Frank Scott Drive, College Park, 301-864-6029
Saturday, 1 p.m.; Ages: Elementary and up (though your preschoolers, of course, are welcome to watch)
I've always been a fan of egg drop soup, but even better? A good, old-fashioned, splatter-defying egg drop. Come and see who designs the most structurally sound egg-protection capsule. Or, if you have a school-aged child, encourage her to build something to cushion an egg.
Summer Live! - Harborplace Amphitheater, Inner Harbor, Baltimore, 800-HARBOR1
Saturday, 8- 11 p.m.
Looking to get your summertime groove on? Then why not head down to the Harbor on Saturday for a free concert by The New Wave Jazz Ensemble? Sure, 8:00 is a little late for the little ones, but you know what? It's a holiday weekend!
Sowebo Arts and Music Festival - Hollins Market Area, 1100 Hollins Street, Baltimore, 571-275-6145
Sunday, 12-8 p.m.
Live music, stilt-walkers, face-painting and pho . . . Sowebo's got something for just about everyone. Take in a few of the cultural happenings, or simply sit on a curb and watch the people.
However you spend this holiday weekend, stay safe and enjoy yourself!
