Things to Do with Kids in Baltimore City This Week

Baltimore City packs more family-friendly events per square mile than anywhere else in the region. From the Inner Harbor's waterfront festivals to Hampden's quirky community celebrations, Federal Hill's outdoor movie nights, and Fells Point's street fairs — the city itself is the venue. Public transit and free parking at many events make it easy to explore neighborhoods beyond your own.
