Welcome Baseball Season to Baltimore!
Whether you call them the “Birds” or the “O’s,” there’s no doubt the Baltimore Orioles are a beloved Charm City institution—as synonymous with this town as crab cakes and Natty Boh beer. On Thursday, March 29, at 3:05 p.m., Baltimore’s favorite baseball team will kick off the 2018 season with a home game against the Minnesota Twins, once again stirring championship hopes.
However, the fun will start way before game time, with an exciting variety of celebrations happening at some of the city’s premier sports bars and restaurants—all within 15 minutes of Anthem House! Whether you’re a die-hard sports fan or just looking to party hard, check out these lively local events on Opening Day, March 29.
