Can you believe it’s almost Memorial Day weekend?

The federal holiday is falling a little early this year, which also pushes back the unofficial start of summer, those days of soda and pretzels and beer.

Some may be tempted to drive to the shore and dip their toes into the still-nippy waters of the Atlantic, but if you’re staying in town, there’s plenty to do in Baltimore for the week ending Wednesday May 28.

Here’s a sampling.
