As fall settles in Baltimore, the city will come alive with music, theater, comedy and more. Summer’s outdoor fun gives way to the packed indoor schedule of the cooler months, and the beginning of October has a host of great events to attend no matter what kind of fun you like to have. Check out one of these four events over the next week in Charm City!
