From one of the biggest concerts to hit CFG Bank Arena this spring to Easter egg hunts across the city, free art installations, vinyl night in Hampden, and the return of the Baltimore Farmers’ Market — Charm City is absolutely loaded with things to do April 2–6, 2026.

The market runs every Sunday through December, rain or shine, and it’s become a beloved ritual for Baltimoreans from every neighborhood.

If you haven’t wandered through Hampden this spring, now’s the time. Baltimore’s quirkiest neighborhood is in full bloom — both literally and figuratively. The Avenue (36th Street) is lined with independent shops, local coffee spots, and some of the best casual dining in the city. This week, the neighborhood is buzzing with the opening of Seppia, the new restaurant from the team behind beloved La Cuchara, now open inside the former Five and Dime Ale House space. The 1st Friday Vinyl Nite at Peabody Heights Brewery (see above) also puts Hampden’s artsy, laid-back energy on full display.

Whether you’re grabbing coffee at Zeke’s, browsing the boutiques, or catching a Friday night show, Hampden is one of Baltimore’s most walkable and vibrant neighborhoods to explore this week.

Baltimore is just getting started this month. Keep these on your radar:
