Love at the Sowebo Art and Music Festival<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

About “SoWeBo” – a blended name for Southwest Baltimore, a collection neighborhoods, including Hollins Market<\/a>, Union Square<\/a>, Pigtown<\/a>, and Poppleton<\/a>. Located just west of the Inner Harbor. Built for 19th-century workers, the area has a rich heritage defined by a bohemian arts scene, architectural preservation, and urban renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art, Music and Kid Friendly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Look no further, put it on your calendar, the Sowebo Art and Music Festival<\/a> always falls on the Sunday before Memorial Day! You can find more info as a visitor or vendor on Facebook <\/a>and Instagram<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever been to Honfest in Hampden, Sowebofest covers about the same area. Not an overwhelming amount of food or beer vendors but just enough keep you happy along with a Food Truck or 2. Big bonus, there was a large area by the Market Stage complete with benches and picnic tables to enjoy your food, rest your legs complete with a playground for kids. I thought I visited all 3 music stages but just found out there were 4, need to get a map next time or less drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PARKING, a challenge almost anywhere in Baltimore. I took a Lyft to Sowebofest to avoid the potential “where to park” issue. From the looks of it, it is simply non-metered street parking where you can find it. For those non-city dwellers, practice your parallel parking or come in a 2 Dr Cooper, LOL. It’s not that bad but you’ll need to know the streets, maybe circle around a bit, but the parking is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
