For the vaccinated, it’s a time to visit old friends and stop into beloved places this summer. That’s about how this weekend’s events feel, as well. There are plenty of chances to see Baltimore’s prime landmarks, as well as familiar production companies and exhibitions that are returning to action. It’s all reopening once again. Take a look at this weekend’s picks:
Produce to the People: 5-8 p.m. on Thursday, June 24 at Union Craft Brewing. Baltimore’s ugly produce delivery service Hungry Harvest is heading out on a three-city tour this summer, but it includes a stop in its home city.

In the punk edition, taking place inside, we’re told Charm City Flea Market will have “cool junk, hidden gems, retro trash, knick-knacks, and cursed artifacts.” Meanwhile, the Maker’s Market will be on the patio, featuring 20 local crafters and artists with handmade clothing, art prints, ceramics, botanical accessories and leatherwork. Plus, food from Sporty Dog.
The Sound of Summer: 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sunday, June 27, at the B&O Railroad Museum, Lot B. Baltimore dirt bike STEM program B-360 brings together the community, with dirt bike demos powered by Red Bull, STEM learning stations and more family fun.
