BALTIMORE EVENTS

Preakness Stakes

The Preakness Stakes, the second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown, is held on the third Saturday in May.  Grandstand tickets are sold out each year, so get your tickets in advance; infield tickets are available on race day.  The infield is a huge party; about 50,000 are on the infield, and beer is encouraged.  Most people who go to the Preakness try to come back every year.

Fells Point Festival

Fells Point Festival is a weekend of partying in the old Baltimore neighborhood.  The festival is held annually on the first weekend in October.  The streets are closed off to handle the huge crowds, and parking lots are converted to beer gardens.  The bars are open (and crowded) all day and night.  Take a cab down, because you'll never find a parking space.

Baltimore Marathon

The Baltimore Marathon is held each October.  The race begins and ends at Ravens Stadium, with a start time of 8:30 am.  There are plenty of activities around the stadium, and along the route all day.  Check the Baltimore Marathon web site for race information and dates.
