Orioles games, concerts at CFG Bank Arena, festivals, art openings, and everything else happening within walking distance of the Lord Baltimore Hotel. Plan your visit around more than one good reason to show up.


🌈A Weekend of Ships, Spirits, & Sleight of Hand
Baltimore's relationship with magic goes back to 1787, when an Italian showman named Falconi set up shop at the Old Theater and charged 75 cents a seat to watch things that were inexplicable, and probably weren't. A crowd of 50,000 showed up on a Tuesday afternoon in 1916 to watch Houdini possibly fall from a building downtown. He didn't fall. Baltimore has been like this for a long time.

Eighty-One Blocks: The Night Baltimore Burned
Baltimore is about to host several dozen magicians in one historic hotel. This is not a drill. The Poe's Magic Conference arrives April 16-19, the Orioles are home this weekend, the Skybar reopens at the end of the month, and a Baltimore artist who made portraits of creatives as sovereign forces of the universe is currently hanging in the lobby. April, it turns out, does not mess around.
