No one goes to the fair looking for healthy food (deep fried cream cheese worm balls, anyone?), but at the very least, it would be nice if the food were sanitary. That was emphatically not the case at last year’s Great Frederick Fair, where more than 80 percent of the vendors were found to be using unsafe food practices, resulting in hundreds of food safety violations.

The 11th Annual Pigtown Festival, Home to the SQUEAKness

Today marks the beginning of an incredibly important holiday season – Baltimore Beer Week.  For those of us here at the Fishbowl who tragically must keep our safe distance from beer and all things gluten, there is still a way to celebrate in the festivities beyond lusting longingly over lagers.  Tomorrow is the 11th Annual Pigtown Festival, which celebrates Baltimore Beer Week accordingly, but is also home to The SQEAKness, Baltimore’s very own running of pigs, made complete with a betting booth this year.

The Zips Activity Stage will host an array of autumnal food eating contests (pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, pork BBQ pie…), and the Pigtown 7-11 parking lot will be transformed into a pumpkin patch and family fun area.  Complete with live music on the main events stage and trick-or-treating around the various vendors present, this is sure to be a festival for everyone.  Pumpkin patches and trick or treating for the kids, beer wristbands to sample local brews and betting on racing pigs for mom and dad, and the famous “Pooch Pageant” for the furry family member.

When
Saturday October 20, 2012
12pm-7pm

Where
The 800 Block of Washington Ave in Pigtown

Why
If pie and beer were not a sufficient reason, you can bet on racing pigs.   That’s pretty much the only reason to go anywhere these days.

Autumn Blaze Fire Festival

Autumn Blaze Fire Festival in Baltimore

The name itself is like a poem: Autumn Blaze Fire Festival.  You don’t necessarily know what it means, but every word is evocative and imagistic. Autumn Blaze Fire Festival.  Is it about celebrating the fall colors? The lighting up of our fireplaces for the first time this year? Burning political effigies as a way to blow off some steam in election season? Nope. It’s an event this weekend hosted by Baltimore Clayworks. Since it’s the Clayworks, the festival will feature a Raku firing demo as well as the (first ever?) Clay Olympics during which you can challenge yourself to throw the tallest cylinder or pull the longest handle. And don’t worry–there won’t be trials. Even those who aren’t gold medal material, are encouraged to show up, grab a lump of clay and give it their best throw. Figure if your masterpiece ends up looking like the lovechild of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and a termite mound you can always blame it on your repeated trips to the beer garden.

Besides clay activities and a beer garden (with beer by Union Craft Brewing), the festival will also feature music by Colonel Josh and the Honky Tonk Heroes  and food from Donna’s and Buffalo Wild Wings. Proceeds will ensure the continuation of the incredible artistic and educational programs housed both at Clayworks’ Mt. Washington studio and gallery and through the organization’s Community Arts program. Tickets are $15 for members, $20 non-members, and $25 at the door.

The Autumn Blaze Fire Festival takes place on October 20 from 6pm-10pm at the Mt. Washington Campus of Baltimore Clayworks, 5707 Smith Ave in Baltimore. For more information, or to reserve tickets, visit www.baltimoreclayworks.org
