With the temperatures around us finally starting to cool down, there comes many opportunities to enjoy our favorite fall activities. We’ve made a list of all our favorite things to do during this delightful time of year in and around Baltimore.
We have some special fall events happening right here in the city! First is the Fall Fest at Canton Merritt hosted by The Hero Rescue on September 21st. Meet some kittens and puppies in need of a new home, and enjoy some fall-themed snacks and drinks as you look around. There will also be games and prizes, and a pumpkin patch on the outdoor turf.
The Fall Rally in the Alley is another Power Plant Live event being held Saturday the 28th. All purchased tickets include a food ticket and five drink tickets, which can be used to grab your choice of their available ciders and beers. You will also have access to other participating venues in the area.
On September 22nd, the Fall Into Darkness ecstatic dance event will be hosted, made to honor the fall equinox and welcome the start of the official fall season. There will be experienced dancers helping everyone along, and a professional DJ providing all the music. Everyone, no matter their fitness level, is welcome to join.
To celebrate the beginning of fall, there will be another event the following weekend. The First Fall Run of 2024 will be held on September 29th, and anyone is welcome to join in, as long as they follow the safety requirements. Join the group for their first visit at Morning Mugs Coffee, the sponsor for this event.
Our last fall event we are excited to announce is the Equinox Wellness Festival on September 21st and 22nd. It aims to bring together local businesses and the community to celebrate the start of the fall season. Each day will have different events. Schedules for each day can be found on the website.
If you’re looking to explore some beautiful fall foliage, there are plenty of nearby places to do so:
The apple orchard and pumpkin patch at Weber’s Farm in Parkville is the place to be for the season! Prepare yourself for fresh fruits and vegetables, and some tasty treats, like their apple cider donuts, made from their produce. For those of you looking for more fun to add to the day, many other fall activities can be found here. Enjoy their duck races, tractor rides, corn mazes, and more!
Baugher’s Orchard is another great place to visit for apple picking. They have several types of apples available at a time for everyone to enjoy. For those of you who don’t wish to do the picking, you can buy some at their orchard or at their shop in Westminster. A petting zoo can also be found at their orchard, and if you choose to visit their shop, then feel free to check out their restaurant.
For all you cider fans in Baltimore, we have two cideries for you to choose from. Our first is at Two Story Chimney. They have a nice selection of sweet seasonal flavors made from many combinations of their seven available apple types. Right now, their seasonal bottles make up Mulberry, their honey Bee Sting, and Strawberry.
The other cidery nearby is Doc Waters Cidery, which started in 2018. They host different events by the week with a schedule released on their website, and which apples can be picked at their adjacent orchard. Right now, they have ciders like their Wild Woods and Pink Lady.
We are so excited to tell you about these fall events and festivities in and around Baltimore, and we hope you will check out some of our suggestions. Have a fantastic fall!
