Saturday, April 16th Fell’s Point revisits its roots. Fell’s may have a raging night life, but more importantly the area has an incredible historic lineage tracing to the 1700’s. Fell’s Point Privateer Day celebrates this heritage. The event goes from 11a.m to 6p.m and is chock full of Privateery fun!
If you’re wondering what a privateer is, so was I. It’s different than a pirate. Privateers are given orders from the government to attack ships, a license to rob type of set up.
As we move into amazing April, all sorts of springtime events start popping up. The Baltimore Farmers’ Market and Bazaar is one of these exciting openings. Typically not around until May, the market pushed up its grand opening to April 3rd for the 2011 season.
