Maryland Events Oct 16–26: Adult Night, Garden Shows & Let’s Meet IRL 🎃

D.C’s signature flavor gets it’s own holiday! October 16th is the first ever National Mambo Sauce Day founded by Tone P. to honor D.C.’s most iconic condiment and its deep ties to DC’s food, music and culture. I sure thought it was Mumbo because that’s how people pronounce it but apparently it’s Mambo?

Drivers should prepare for major road closures, lane restrictions and parking bans throughout Baltimore on Saturday, Oct. 18, for the 25th annual Baltimore Running Festival.

More than 14,000 runners are expected to participate in the full marathon, half-marathon, 10K and 5K races during the festival. So be prepared if you have to travel through the city during the day.

1) Featured Event: Maryland Home & Garden Show (Oct 17-19). I’ll be there in person on the 17th, emceeing with Brian & Mika from 100 Day Dream Home — would love to say hi if you drop by!

2) Spooky Fun - Grab up your bravest friends and see if you can be scared at Bennett’s Curse (indoors) or Creepywoods (in the woods)

or

3) Adult Fun - When’s the last time you had an adult night? Wonderfly Arena is having them every Thursday night. Get your friends and go have a blast or go alone and meet friends there!

4) Stop Shaving - I got tired of shaving and decided to try Smooth DMV to get rid of this hair. Not only did it not hurt but the first session was FREE. With three locations near you can go try. Love their low cost transparent pricing!
