Free arts events in Baltimore this fall

Things are looking good for culture vultures heading to Baltimore this fall, especially when it comes to saving money. Thanks to the city's mayor, Martin O'Malley, and the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts, many events—175 of them—at museum, dance, and music venues will be free or have reduced admission throughout October and November.

Venues include the

American Visionary Art Museum

,

National Aquarium

,

Maryland Zoo

,

Baltimore Symphony Orchestra

,

Sports Legends at Camden Yards

, and

Dance Baltimore

.

To sweeten the pot,

The Walters Art Museum

and the

Baltimore Museum of Art

vow to completely eliminate admission fees for good starting October 1.

Events will be posted on the

Free Fall Baltimore website

after today (September 8).
