A free walkthrough of the Lord Baltimore Hotel, two nights of The Magic Showcase, late-night ghost tours, and the new Poe's Magic Theatre shop.This Weekend at Poe's
Two nights of The Magic Showcase, two late-night ghost tours, a brand-new free tour of the hotel, and something new to take home. Here's what's on.
The Magic Showcase
Friday, Nov 6 at 8 pm

The Magic Showcase
Saturday, Nov 7 at 8 pm
Missed Friday, or want to see who turns up on Saturday? Same stage, fresh lineup, same chance of being thoroughly fooled.
Ghost Tours This Weekend
Lord Baltimore Hotel Ghost Tours
Friday, Nov 6 and Saturday, Nov 7 at 10 pm
Investigate America's most haunted luxury hotel. The tours start right after the Showcase, so you can make a full night of it without leaving the building.
New: Walk the Lord Baltimore Hotel
The Lord Baltimore Hotel Walkthrough
Our free photo tour of the hotel is open. Walk from the brass revolving doors to the penthouse: the Calvert Ballroom, the Maryland Room, Poe's Magic Theatre and the 19th floor, with the history behind every room.
When you reach our stage, tap the card on the table and try a card trick yourself. New rooms are being added as we go.
Weekend Weather
Early forecasts call for a mild but wet Friday, with a high near 68 and a good chance of rain, so bring an umbrella for the walk in. Saturday clears out and cools down, with a high around 63 and a low near 48. Perfect ghost tour weather.
Downtown This Weekend
Ron White brings his stand-up to The Lyric on Fri, Nov 6 at 8 pm.
Everyman Theatre, a short walk from the hotel on Fayette Street, is in the final weeks of Different Words for Happiness (through Nov 15), with performances Friday and Saturday.
CFG Bank Arena takes the weekend off before Dave Matthews Band on Tue, Nov 10, and Hell's Kitchen, the Alicia Keys musical, opens at the Hippodrome on Nov 17.
Game Day
The Ravens host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night, Nov 5 at 8:15 pm (Prime Video), then have the weekend off. Their next home game is Monday night, Nov 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
At the Lord Baltimore Hotel
Staying the night? The hotel's packages pair a room with the theatre. Ghost & Glamour adds Poe's Magic Theatre tickets and a hotel ghost tour, and the Weekend Mystery & Magic Getaway is two nights with VIP Poe's tickets and a guided ghost tour.
Weekend Mystery & Magic Getaway
Next Weekend at the Hotel: FaeryCon, Nov 13 to 15
One week from now the Lord Baltimore Hotel fills up with faeries, elves, goblins, ogres and at least one live mermaid. FaeryCon, from the Baltimore Faerie Faire, takes over the hotel Fri, Nov 13 to Sun, Nov 15.
By day (1 pm to 5 pm) it's a family fairy festival: a handmade artists market, workshops, panels, stage performances, live music and roaming characters. Costumes are encouraged but not required, and kids 12 and under get in free with a ticketed adult for the daytime events.
The Faery Balls
The nights are for grown-ups (18 and over). Friday the 13th starts with the coronation of the Faerie Queene at 7 pm, then the BridgerTroll Ball from 8 pm to midnight. Saturday brings the Unseelie Court's Faery Scary Ball, 8 pm to midnight, with live music from Brinjal World Music and Kindred Crow. The balls tend to sell out, so this is the week to book.
Make a Weekend of It
Poe's Magic Theatre is open all FaeryCon weekend, a few floors from the festivities. Friday at 8 pm it's Poe's Magic Spotlight with Vincent La Padula, Saturday at 8 pm The Magic Showcase, and both nights end with the Lord Baltimore Hotel Ghost Tours at 10 pm. Faerie wings are welcome in the audience.
