FlowerMart 2014 Welcomes Spring
The drudgery of last-week-of-classes and the constant downpour we’ve had this last week has washed away any memories of Spring Fair. If you’re burned out and need a reminder that it really, truly, is spring, then consider a trip down to Mt. Vernon for Baltimore’s annual rite of spring, FlowerMart 2014! FlowerMart 2014 will take place in the parks of Mr. Vernon surrounding the Washington Monument on Friday, May 2 and Saturday, May 3, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. both days. There is no admission charge. Part of North Charles St. will be blocked off for the festival, and vendors, booths and two stages will be installed on the street surrounding the European style parks that border the Peabody Institute. This is by far my favorite “spring fair” of the year (sorry Spring Fair) – I find that there’s a greater variety of things to see, as well my favorite part – the vendors with their overwhelming abundance of fresh, beautiful flowers lining North Charles St.
