As the leaves turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold, and the crisp, cool breeze fills the air, Baltimore transforms into a picturesque autumn wonderland. Fall in Central Maryland is a time of year when the region comes alive with a myriad of exciting events and charming pumpkin patches that beckon locals and visitors alike. Here's a guide to some of the best fall activities to enjoy in and around Baltimore this fall.
1. Legacy Chase Shawan Downs Horse Race: Start your fall festivities with the thrilling Legacy Chase Shawan Downs Horse Race. Held annually at Shawan Downs in Hunt Valley, this event combines the elegance of horse racing with the beauty of the autumn landscape. Spectators can enjoy the sight of magnificent thoroughbreds thundering across the course, while families can participate in tailgating, picnicking, and various activities for children. It's a day of tradition, sport, and community that captures the essence of fall. The Batoff Group is a proud sponsor of this annual event!
2. Ladew Gardens' "Great Pumpkin Float": After the excitement of the horse race, head to Ladew Gardens, a serene oasis just outside the city.
