“Brilliant Baltimore” and Light City
Light City and the Baltimore Book Festival join forces:
Every year, Baltimore is awash in art and light installations. This year, Baltimore’s Light City festival has changed to a different time of year, to allow for cooler temperatures and less rain from its previous spring timeline. It now coincides with the Baltimore Book Festival, and both festivals make up the event called Brilliant Baltimore.
Light City in Baltimore
Light City was always one of our favorite festivals in Baltimore. It brought residents out from their homes, brought people from the surrounding Counties into the city, and helped to highlight local and international artists and their inspiring work.
Baltimore Book Festival
Our favorite independent book shops, Ivy Bookshop and Red Emmas, countless authors, many literary groups/societies, and the Enoch Pratt Library come together for this year’s Baltimore Book Festival. There will be readings, discussion, and performances.
What about food?

What are some great things to do in Baltimore in the Fall?
Fall foliage, pumpkin spiced everything, pleasant temperatures: it’s no wonder fall is often everyone’s favorite season. But how can you make fall special in BALTIMORE? Here are a few ways to explore Baltimore in the fall!
Fall foliage:
“Leaves on the way to Winter” Gregory McKay
Here is the low-down on your fall foliage views in Baltimore City
According to the Baltimore Sun, the peak time to catch peak fall foliage in 2019 will be mid-October. Baltimore city has not just one, not two, but THREE large parks to view amazing fall foliage. Designed by Frederick Olmstead (who also designed Central Park in NYC), Patterson Park provides 137 acres of prime fall foliage viewing (go ahead and prance/skip/frolic/selfie to your heart’s content).
Federal Hill sits above Baltimore’s gorgeous Inner Harbor, and provides sweeping views of the water. Its high vantage point was chosen as an advantageous position in the Civil War, and will likewise give you VIP views for all the orange/red/yellow foliage Baltimore’s waterfront has to offer!
Lastly, don’t forget about Fort McHenry, the birthplace of the national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner. Fort McHenry sits at the tip of Baltimore’s harbor, and protected it from intruders—who were attempting to enter from the Chesapeake Bay and the Patapsco River during the war of 1812. Behold the fall foliage along the banks of the Patapsco and surrounding Baltimore County!
Pumpkin spiced and everything nice
“Late fall in Patterson Park” Gregory McKay
Where to get a warm cup for your Autumn walk
On your way to peruse the fall foliage, check out these great coffee shops in Baltimore City!
Just blocks from nearby Patterson Park, check out One Do in Canton. They are featuring a pumpkin spiced chai latte that will warm your hands and your heart! If you’re on your way to Federal Hill, make sure to stop by the newly renovated Cross Street Market, which features a new outpost of Ceremony Coffee (featuring seasonal menus for food and for caffeine). Last but not least, head to Order & Chaos Coffee, where you can grab a “walking waffle” on your way to Fort McHenry.

Mount Vernon: humble beginnings
Mount Vernon is one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Baltimore. It was named after George Washington’s home of Mount Vernon, Virginia. Its name is fitting because it is the location of the first monument dedicated to George Washington.
Baltimore’s Washington Monument may not be as large as the one in neighboring DC, but it predates its larger version by 33 years. The cornerstone of Baltimore’s Washington Monument was laid in 1815, and the construction was finished in 1829. DC’s Washington Monument started in 1848 (33 years after the cornerstone was laid in Baltimore’s monument) and was not completed until 1888.
Industrialists rebuilding after the war of 1812 flocked to this fashionable neighborhood. They built the brownstones, mansions, and grand buildings that stand in the neighborhood today.
Mount Vernon: modern marvels
The Mount Vernon neighborhood is marked by varied and delicious cuisine, ranging from Thai to Turkish, from Afghani to New American. There are new sites, such as the newly renovated Hotel Revival and its rooftop bar Topside. There are painstakingly preserved charms such as the Elephant: where the Knapp family mansion’s collection of Waterford crystal, Tiffany glass, and De Forest carvings still decorate its lavish dining rooms and luxe lounge.
