Baltimore city hosts a variety of festivals

By Florence Lau | October 5, 2011

October brings with it a series of fairs and festivals to the Baltimore area, each celebrating a different aspect of culture in Charm City.

Trawler Fest Baltimore 2011 is all about the culture of travelling on water in the city. There will be water boat shows, exhibits on land and seminars. This show runs until October 9th and costs $15 for general admission.

Baltimore Black Pride begins on October 6 and runs until October 10. It is an exciting weekend filled with events like dance parties and a gala in order to promote unity for the African community in Baltimore.

The Showcase of Nations 2011 is closing on October 16. If you haven't been there yet, now's your chance to try a variety of multicultural foods, listen to music from different cultures, watch traditional dances and try your hand at cultural arts and crafts. The last two days of the festival will feature Russian heritage, including food, music, and crafts, at the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church.

Free Fall Baltimore is back for its sixth year, presenting more than 300 unique events, including special programs at museums, concerts, and arts vendors. All of these events are free to the public and take place over the course of a month, until October 31. There are many chances to try out something new, from taking a class to attending a performance of something you have never seen before.

This is the month to get out and see Baltimore,  and all these fairs give you ample opportunities to enjoy Charm City at its finest.
