Let's Eat Charles Street - This Weekend

Click on image to enlarge
One of the street festivals that seems to go "under the radar" is the Let's Eat Charles Street (which just so happens to be this Saturday from 12-5PM on the 300 block of North Charles st).  Why, I'm not sure.  It's actually pretty fantastic.  Partly because so many awesome eateries take part, part because there's good music, and part because you get to hang out downtown in the middle of the street.  Oh, and the Oriole bird goes every year!  Here's the official website for more information.

Fort McHenry Boat Tours



Starting this month, narrated boat tours will be going out of Fort McHenry every weekend until September 15th.  For $10 each ($5 for children 10 years old or younger), you can climb aboard and learn all about the Battle of Baltimore during the War of 1812.  Go where Francis Scott Key was anchored and looking past the British fleet to see if our Star Spangled Banner was still over the fort.  Tours leave hourly from 10AM-4PM.  $1 of all adult tickets sold goes to Friends of Fort McHenry.

Here's a great little video to check out about the tour.
