welcome to BALTIMORE T HE COLDER SEASONS SEEM TO TAKE ON A SPECIAL QUALITY NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE—BUT IN BALTIMORE, THEY’RE ESPECIALLY MAGICAL . From the abundant fall festivals to the holiday light displays at Hampden’s Miracle on 34th Street and festive markets at the Inner Harbor’s German-style Christmas Village, Baltimore is filled with exciting special events this season. And that’s in addition to the incredible assets we offer year-round, from world- class art museums and historic landmarks to charmingly eclectic neighborhoods and a thriving restaurant scene. We can’t wait for you to experience Baltimore’s vibrant culture. This year, as our nation recognizes the centennial of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, we’re shining a spotlight on a few of the Baltimore women who are doing big things in our city—plus, local institutions who are planning special events to commemorate the moment. Elsewhere in this issue, read all about the different ways to explore Baltimore, whether you’re into the spooky side (visit Edgar Allan Poe’s stomping grounds and grave) or cozy fall weekends (linger over a long brunch and curl up with a new book). Discover the best neighborhoods for family fun and seasonal shopping, and learn more about some of Baltimore’s most delicious foods, inspired by its history as one of America’s greatest melting pots. There’s so much to do here in Baltimore. Happy exploring! FO LLOW US FOLLOW VISIT BALTIMORE ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CITY.
