Join the Food and Culture Area for a fun and interesting look at local food production. Our Saturday morning market excursion to Fells Point Farmer’s Market will give you a chance to check out local, seasonal foods and take in a beautiful view of the water. Meet in the Lord Baltimore Lobby at 7:15am to ride to the market; we’ll split cabs or Uber over and be back in time for the 9:00 panels!
