Free art and more ways to save in Baltimore

Last month, Executive Editor Anne Banas posted about

Free Fall Baltimore

, the city's free art, music, and theater extravaganza. Now that it's officially started, I wanted to follow up with more information on other ways to save while you immerse yourself in the arts.

In addition to all the free things to do, there are

hotel packages

with extras that can add value to a stay. I found offers of upgrades, free breakfasts, and attraction passes. There's also a coupon book available

online

, with discounts at restaurants, attractions, and on transportation. The combination of free events and discounts points to this being a well-choreographed push towards affordability. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who can appreciate that.
