Downtown Charles Town will welcome the return of warm weather with its 4th annual Blooms & Blossoms, a day-long event on Saturday, April 13. The festivities begin at 9 am with the opening of the Charles Town Farmers Market. Look for the tents in the 100 block of South Samuel Street (next to Fuzzy Dog Books & Music). The main event opens at noon and runs until 4 pm in the 100 block of North Charles Street (by the mural wall), with music, vendors, and kids activities. Stop by the Charles Town Now table to pick up a Bingo Board that will guide you to the various activities sponsored by many of the downtown businesses.
The pub crawl starts at 5 pm with nine participating locations (this event is for adults only). You can find a map at any of the locations, but you’ll need a password or an invitation card to get into the 1786 pop-up speakeasy in Charles Washington Hall. “Mr. Washington” (image, right) will be manning the door and he has a reputation to uphold. Look for Mike George, Ryan Baker, or Jeremiah Rickard and ask for a password (they will be dressed like Mr. Washington).
