10 Concerts & Shows in Baltimore That You Shouldn't Miss

September 6, 2021 Diedre Savory

Since the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor in the late 1970s, Baltimore has set the standard for urban renewal. While a good part of the city's action centers around the fun and festive Harbor area, where street entertainers, open-air concerts, fireworks and parades abound, the surrounding neighborhoods offer all sorts of interesting landmarks, unique shops and delicious restaurants. Wander around Fells Point, the oldest section of Baltimore, reminiscent of an old English village, complete with pubs and cobblestone streets. Take the kids to the aquarium and check out the imaginative creations at the American Visionary Art Museum. Or stop by the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum for an in-depth look at the Great Bambino's life. Baltimore is also renowned for its African-American heritage sites, plus festivals and cultural events that take place throughout the year. From historic places and harbor cruises to family friendly attractions and fabulous neighborhoods, Charm City is one of the top tourist destinations in the United States.

Everyman Theatre

Live theater done consistently well. They just opened their new theatre and it is beautiful.

We were thrilled to get tickets from Sun Insider to Everyman Theater to see “Murder on the Orient Express.” All Aboard! This was a striking whodunnit that with a lot of twists and turns. The play was adapted by Ken Ludwig, who was picked by the Agatha Christie estate to write this first stage adaptation of the British writer’s famous page-turner. Here is the set up – a crime is committed and someone on the train has done it. What makes it interesting is that everyone on board has an alibi, but also has a reason to kill. Luckily, there is an expert investigator on board to solve the crime. We were amazed as we felt like we were on the train. The set designs were just that incredible. They somehow managed to create the space to represent the interiors and exteriors of train compartments, hallways, and lounge cars, in addition to a café in Istanbul. The lighting and sound only added to the suspense of the story. To see everyone fashionably dressed in 1930’s couture was really interesting as well. You had to be quick to catch the humor that was interspersed through the performance. We were delighted to have had the opportunity to see this wonderful performance.

I attended the last ghost Hunt of the season last night. I had a great time. Vince was very knowledgeable and I had great conversations with him. I loved the Speakeasy, and the Ball rooms. I wished the Sky Bar doors to the roof were opened to investigate out there, but maybe next time. The Spirit session was pretty cool and we did have some shadows out and about. this was a great Trip. I was here for a Scentsy conference and saw they had a ghost hunt at the hotel, and being a paranormal investigator, I couldn't pass this up.

Center stage is my favorite because it is small, so good seating, Parking is easy and staff are helpful. The musicals are the coolest, from Bob Marley to Stax, the Musical (saw it twice, it was so good!).
