This is one of the most meaningful exhibits to hit the city this year, and it’s free to enter on opening night. Don’t miss it.

They’ll explore the Latin origins of ancient ingredients and beverages — think mezcal, cacao, and pulque — tracing their cultural and culinary journeys. It’s fascinating, free, and at one of Baltimore’s most beloved museums, which is itself always free to visit. Pair it with a stroll through Mount Vernon’s beautiful streets afterward.

📍 Various Pratt Library Branches | Saturday, March 28 | All Day | FREE
