One thing that I love so much about the spring and summer are all the cool happenings outdoors. I will make an effort to get to all these events but it will be tricky since so many are in Maryland and I'm trying to do more local events. All of the following festivals are a lot of fun and worth checking out if you have the time.
First up is this coming weekend:
Fells Point Privateer Day Festival April 17-18, 2009
This was formaerly known as the the Pyrate invasion. There's all kinds of street entertainment, vendors and a pretty fun bar crawl. Not to mention its always fun getting a bit tipsy while dressing and talking like a pirate. If you have a cash there's also a pretty awesome pirate booze cruise.
Herbfest, also on April 17 & 18th is fun if you want to stay in the PA area at the York expo center. The 2 day event is held each April and features nationally known speakers, workshops and numerous vendors of plants, herbal crafts, products for the gardener, cook and crafter. I personally think th eclass on how to make herbal bonsai trees sounds cool.
Spoutwood Faerie Festival May 1 & 2, 2009. This is held at Spoutwood Farm in GlenRock, PA (near York, PA). Its only a short drive from Maryland for those of you who wish to make the trip. Music, entertainers & all kinds of craft cendors abound. This is a great event for the whole family.... and who doesn't love getting to dress up like a fairy?!
