EDITOR’S ITINERARY

N E W S T O T R AV E L B Y

In bustling Baltimore, there’s always something unique going on. This July, Artscape descends on the city with fantastical creations like a giant goddess playing backup dancer to a live band and more. Check out our sneak peek on page 6. It’s also a great time of year for taking it easy, and with tons of parks—not to mention our very own National Park—you have your pick (see page 10). If you’re looking to get out of town for a little while, we’ve got a few suggestions on page 8. Short on time? Here’s a quick visit to one of the city’s best attractions:

90 MINUTES IN:

Since its 1844 founding, the society (page 22) has amassed more than 350,000 objects and millions of books and documents on Maryland’s history. Start a short visit on the first floor.

the doomed marriage of Napolean Bonaparte’s younger brother, Joseph, to local Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte (above, center), whose beauty and wit (not to mention low-cut French gowns) attracted many suitors (and scandals). If there’s still time, peruse the exquisite furniture on the third floor, where period paintings are displayed with the well-preserved pieces they highlight.

altimore sculptor Nariko Marvit-Suyemoto whipped up a series of way-larger-than-life pieces of “trash” for the 2018 Artscape Festival July 20-22. Using papermache, paint and wooden frames, she formed jumbo models of a bag of Utz potato chips, an apple core and a crumpled can of local Natty Boh beer. “I’m hoping that the 7-foot-tall core provides some shade for festival-goers,” says the recent Maryland Institute College of Art grad.

Marvit-Suyemoto’s installation is among dozens of exhibits and performances by artists, dancers, fashion designers, musicians and craftspeople during the 37th annual street party. Artscape ranks as the country’s largest free arts festival, taking over multiple blocks in Bolton Hill and Station North and closing down major thoroughfares including Mount Royal Avenue, Cathedral Street and Charles Street for one rollicking, colorful weekend.

“It’s just such an experience, because the whole city seems to get excited and involved,” says local meeting planner and arts enthusiast Nelle Somerville. “There are millions of activities for kids, nighttime concerts and things like inflatable igloos and faux campfires. You run into everyone you know!”

For newbies, it helps to make a plan, noting when bands like Toots and the Maytals (July 21 at 7:30 pm) or performance groups like Garth Fagan Dance (July 21 and 22) will appear on the 16 indoor and outdoor stages. Food trucks, water stations and beer stands keep fête-goers fueled, too.

“It’s always the hottest weekend of the year, so plan accordingly,” says Somerville with a laugh. “But it’s nice to walk around the streets with a beer in your hand.”

Visitors can download a festival map at www.artscape. org. A smart phone app also helps with navigation. “Try to combine indoor and outdoor activities,” says Kathy Horning, festival director at the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts. “It’s also nice to challenge yourself to do something you haven’t done before, like listen to opera or try a handson craft. Since it’s all free, it’s a great way to expose yourself to new art forms.”

This year, innovative offerings include the blues-meetship-hop music of songstress ZZ Ward (July 22) and do-ityourself printmaking and graffiti arts workshops. “For the latter, you’ll be able to learn to tag in the city’s legendary Graffiti Alley, which is the only legal place to do it in the city,” says Horning.

Also this year: drain snake racing, in which participants maneuver faux serpents through a series of pipes at the Station North Tool Library and an origami and string installation scheduled to be added all weekend at Pearlstone Park.

Throughout the festival, String Theory Theater’s oversized puppets are set to wander among the crowds interacting with each other and attendees.

Artscape 2017 Garth Fagan Dance

“It’s just such an experience because the whole city gets excited and involved.”

And in one of the wildest rides, Pittsburgh’s Squonk Opera brings its “Pneumatica” show (opposite) to a parking lot on Charles Street. While playing groovy electronic music, the group unleashes inflatable beings like friendly monsters with tentacles and a two-story-high, fog-blowing goddess.

Local and national artists and craftspeople also sell their wares out of a parking garage-turned-jumbo gallery at 1714 North Charles St. “It’s a really great way to get to know local makers and support local businesses,” says MarvitSuyemoto. “The vendors always have such cool stuff.” Look for everything from moody photographs of Baltimore architecture to hand-tooled leather jewelry.

Getting around is easy this year, too, thanks to a fleet of pedicabs. “We’re not sure what they’ll look like yet, but there’ll be an art connection,” says Horning. We’d expect nothing less. w w w.wh e re t rave le r.c o m

Annapolis, Md. The state capital’s location on the Chesapeake Bay (opposite) makes it the Mid-Atlantic’s nautical hub and home of the U.S. Naval Academy. Summer and fall draw thousands with maritime events like Wednesday night sailboat races, plus activities like sailing, kayaking and cruising on the bay. The charming, walkable downtown offers museums, shopping and (no surprise) seafood restaurants with waterfront views. An arts scene also bustles with theater and weekly art festivals. 30 miles south via I-97 South, 410.280.0445, visitannapolis.org Harpers Ferry

HARPERS FERRY This nearly 4,000-acre park lies at the convergence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. Where Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia meet, find trails and battlefields, plus rapids and a “lazy” waters for tubing. History buffs time travel in the town that witnessed the largest surrender of Federal troops during the Civil War, the start of the B&O Railroad and John Brown’s raid. 67 miles west via I-70 West and US-340 West, 304.535.6162, nps.gov/hafe BUTLER’S ORCHARD In Germantown, 37 acres sprawl with fruit trees and vegetables, a market sells jams, syrups and honey, and a bakery tempts with latticed, fruit-rich pies.

Through summer, families pick berries and, for rough-

ly three weeks beginning in late August, apples.

Stunning fall foliage brings the annual Pumpkin Festival with hayrides, a straw maze and treats like cider and hand-dipped caramel apples. 45 miles southwest via I-95 South, 301.972.3299, butlersorchard.com BLACK ANKLE VINEYARDS This vineyard is a Maryland Governor’s Cup triple winner. A tasting room offers seven varieties of reds, four whites and local cheeses, while an hourlong tour takes visitors through the vineyard and winery.

Baltimore Your Way UNIQUE TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS, FIT TO MATCH YOUR PERSONAL STYLE.

Family Traveler

FirstTimer

Outdoors Enthusiast

Have kids in tow? Charm City’s playful personality translates to plenty of fun for all members of the family. At (1) Baltimore Museum of Industry, see key inventions (and even some demos) that helped fuel the city’s economy. Having your head up in the clouds is encouraged at the (2) Maryland Science Center, where stargazers peek at the heavens through a 1927 Clark telescope in the Davis Planetarium (Fridays and Saturdays in good weather). At Mount Vernon’s (3) Papermoon Diner, feast on all-day breakfast, Kaptain Krunch milkshakes and the quirky decor.

Newcomers to the city are in luck.

Baltimore delights with eye-opening sights and a quirky vibe all its own.

Budget at least two hours to visit the (1) National Aquarium, and be sure to make your way to the top level’s rain forest exhibit for a glimpse of golden tamarin monkeys scampering through the trees. At the circa 1911 (2) Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower, explore more than 30 artist studios, and view the inner workings of the giant clock at the top. After, head to historic (3) Lexington Market for local treats like authentic crab cakes at Faidley’s and fudgy Berger cookies.

With a bustling waterfront and walkable neighborhoods, Charm City is an outdoor lover’s dream. Golfers will appreciate (1) Bulle Rock’s Pete Dye-designed course with a clubhouse and gorgeous views of the Chesapeake Bay. In the mood for a walk? Take a tour with guides from (2) Baltimore National Heritage Area through history-rich neighborhoods like Mount Vernon and Fells Point. (3) American Sailing Tours offers 90-minute jaunts in the harbor aboard the schooner, Summer Wind.

Book a wine and cheese voyage, then toast the stunning city views.
