The air is getting warmer, the sun is shining brighter, and the trees are budding. This means only one thing…it is SPRING in Baltimore. There are so many fun things to do in Charm City. Let’s fill our weekends and enjoy this gorgeous weather with friends & fun! 

  1. Visit Sherwood Gardens 

Sherwood Gardens is commonly known for its colorful and breathtaking tulips, 80,000 to be exact, and its beautiful neighborhood. It is right across from Loyola University and is a great walk from which to enjoy the weather. Bringing a blanket, some snacks, and a book is a great way to relax and get some vitamin D. Those vibrant flowers are sure to get you out of your winter slump! 

  1. Go to an Orioles Game 

Baltimore is home to the O’s. Camden Yards is one of the greatest baseball stadiums ever. There are a lot of inexpensive tickets or if you’re looking to save, tailgating outside in your orange gear is great too! Who doesn’t want a hot dog and lemonade on a 75-degree day?! Camden Yards is also a short walk from the classic, Inner Harbor. After the ballgame, you could end your day exploring and enjoying the water view! 

  1. Check Out the Maryland Zoo 

Visiting the Baltimore Zoo has been on my bucket list for a while. It is a great time to see some adorable animals before the overbearing summer heat. There are 1,500 animals from giraffes to penguins. The spring time is known as newborn season and you may see some mini animals. The Maryland Zoo also hosts some events for Easter and Earth Day! 

  1. Shop at The Baltimore Farmer’s Market 

Starting on April 2nd, there will be a market every Sunday from 7 a.m.-12 p.m. You can find fresh produce, flowers, handmade crafts, and great food. You could get to know some local artists, farmers, and businesses. You could get some coffee and spend your morning browsing or go in the afternoon and have lunch there!  

  1. Attend a Festival 

Maryland is known for its extensive list of festivals, from music to film to food. Many festivals can be found at the Inner Harbor, Fell’s Point, and Mount Vernon, which gives you a chance to explore the city while enjoying the event. You can discover new music artists and try some fun food. Springtime is the best time to visit festivals with comfortable temperatures and blooming scenery. So go on Google and choose a festival that fits your interests!

LUM '27

Talia Navarro is a junior at Loyola University of Maryland. She was born and raised in New Jersey. She attended Middletown High School South, the place where she found her interest in studying law. She took Business Ethics, Creative Writing, and Effective Oral Communication electives. At the end of her senior year in high school, she won three different awards for submitting writing entries. The pieces included topics of being a child of a first responder, growing up as a dancer, and her dream of becoming a lawyer.
Her journaling fascination was sparked by her Dad at a young age. If she ever had a school paper, she would report straight to him. They would sit in the dining room for hours and work through her corrections and how to improve her skills. Whether it is a simplistic story about rescuing her dog or writing about the causes of World War II, he was able to excel. She still continues to aspire to have her father’s ability and reach his level of composing mastery. In her personal life, she has incorporated journaling into her everyday routine, to reflect on her gratitude and make affirmations to herself. Talia enjoys helping her friends and classmates edit their school papers. She does not have a professional background just yet, however, she hopes to build it soon!
Additionally, Talia loves to read books in her free time. Her favorite genres are fiction and romance, but recently she has found interest in thrillers. She enjoys exercising and staying active, whether that includes going for a walk outdoors or going to an instructed class. A guilty pleasure of Talia's is shopping. If you ever offer a shopping trip, just know her answer is yes! She also has a passion for hair and makeup. She is always watching tutorials and testing various makeup techniques. Talia loves to try out new hairstyles and find the best hair care products on the market.
