It’s been a really tough two weeks and Baltimore deserves a break. Luckily for us, there’s a lot going on that can lift our spirits. We can tell spring is officially here because of all the outdoor activities this weekend, like the Baltimore Farmers’ Market’s return, and street food and kite festivals. But if you still want to kick it inside, then you can check out the reopening of an art gallery and more.
Do you like fashion and pets? Petco Love is presenting a way for you to enjoy both with Pawject Runway, a fashion show for animals. Well-known figures — including a number of Baltimore Ravens players — will “model” adoptable cats and dogs from the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter. Proceeds from a silent auction will benefit the animals at BARCS and the Show Your Soft Side anti-animal abuse campaign. Oh, and there will also be a Cuddle Corner with adoptable kittens and puppies.
Bob Dylan is one of the most popular musicians in history, responsible for classic songs such “Like a Rolling Stone” and “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” The Bob Band, a tribute group made up of Scott Dineen, Steve Chambers, Peter Kahn, Paul Goldstein and Jason Byrd, gives the legendary artist his flowers by performing songs from across six decades of his catalogue.
