With so many incredible civic organizations and helping hands doing great work in Charm City, it’s easy to see Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy in action all year long. But MLK Day is a specific time to reflect on the enduring power of one of our country’s most influential leaders.

This year, make Jan. 19 more than just a day off by attending a lecture on Black history, celebrating with local artists and poets, giving back to the community, or checking out the city’s annual parade. Here are a handful of engaging activities and events to get involved throughout the long weekend. 

Jan 17: MLK Performances at The Walters
The Walters Art Museum is hosting an afternoon of special performances curated by poet and MICA professor Unique Robinson. Featuring Maryland Poet Laureate Lady Brion, The Voice semi-finalist Davon Fleming, and multi-instrumentalist Ray Winder, the event is a great opportunity to recognize local artists and engage in a time of listening and celebration. 600 N. Charles St. 3-4:30 p.m. Free. 

Jan 17-19: MLK Jr. Weekend Celebration at the B&O: Freedom in Fabric
The B&O Railroad museum is hosting a full weekend of activities exploring the deep connections between quilting and the Underground Railroad—as the art form was often used during the time of slavery as a means to communicate, with “quilt codes” embedded in the patterns. To honor Dr. King’s legacy, the museum will host family-friendly mini quilt craft sessions; displays from the Baltimore Heritage Quilt Guild and Uhuru Quilters Guild; African American Railroading Legacy tours; and guided tours of the museum’s Underground Railroad: Freedom Seekers on the B&O exhibit that focus on quilting traditions. 901 West Pratt St. Times and prices vary.

Jan 19: Annual MLK Day of Service with Civic Works
Every year, Civic Works hosts its MLK Day of Service as an opportunity for locals to give back to the community at large. Join more than 300 other volunteers across seven sites in volunteer activities like organizing warehouses, cleaning public spaces, gardening, and more.

Jan 19: King Day at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum: Children Shall Lead

Jan 19: MLK Day Parade
For more than 20 years, Baltimore has hosted an annual MLK Day Parade, bringing the city together in celebration and reflection of Dr. King’s principles. On Monday, Jan. 19, the city’s annual parade will once again march down Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in remembrance of the street’s namesake. Starting at noon, the procession kicks off at Eutaw Street, with marching bands, dance groups, color guard troupes, local leaders, and more in tow.

Jan 19: Symphony in the City MLK Day Celebration Concert at the BSO
The BSO is partnering with the Mayor’s Office to host this free performance showcasing the work of pivotal Black composers such as Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Florence Price, and Morgan State University’s own James Lee III. Led by music director Jonathon Heyward—with vocals by the Morgan State University choir—the program will close out with Charles Dickerson’s I Have A Dream, an emotional musical tribute to Dr. King’s iconic speech. Be sure to arrive early for pre-show festivities (think: live poetry, DJ entertainment, a step show, a selfie station, and an interactive “Dream Wall”) in the Meyerhoff lobby. 1212 Cathedral St. 5:30 p.m. Free with reservations. 

THB Bagelry & Deli has come a long way in its 25 year-run. With the help of the Scotto family, the original shop for hangover breakfast sandwiches and coffee in Towson has grown into one of Baltimore’s most recognizable cafe chains, with seven locations scattered everywhere from Canton to Columbia.

The menu—nowadays accessed most via self-serve kiosk and online app ordering—has expanded to include packed sandwiches, wraps, and omelets, as well as rotating specialty bagels that flex the brand’s civic pride. (The multi-colored Maryland Day bagels, purple Ravens bagels, and purple-and-teal bagels that recently acted as a fundraiser for the Maryland chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention are all among standout examples.) 

“We’ve done a lot of work over the years,” says president and CEO Tony Scotto. “We created the brand. We’ve expanded. We’ve updated the menu from time to time.” 

Still, some things never change—like the crisp, doughy texture of the boiled-and-baked daily bagels and the business’ family-run ethos. When Scotto and his cousins moved to Baltimore from Naples, Italy, they never imagined they would one day take over the cozy bagel shop that had been operating next door to their family’s Italian restaurant off of the Towson Circle since 1999. But eventually, they did. In 2008, Scotto—along with his brother, sister, cousin, and father—officially took over the original THB.  

“It started out as a joke,” he remembers. “THB was small at the time, but very popular. Because they didn’t have much space, some of their customers would sit at our tables next door, so we joked that we should become partners. And then at some point, as we got to know the owners more, it stopped being a joke. We realized there was great potential there.”

An Italian family getting into the bagel business might seem unusual to some, but Scotto says the owners’ love of family, food, and their Southern Italian heritage made it an ideal fit. 

“THB reminds us of our grandfather’s deli in Italy,” he says. “Bagel shops share a lot of similarities with Italian delis, like the sliced meat and vegetables and the freshly made bagels and bread. So, this feels a lot like home.”

In honor of the eatery’s 25th anniversary, we recently caught up with Scotto to ask about changing carb trends, his go-to order, and what comes next.

After 25 years in business, how have you observed Baltimore’s taste in bagels changing over time?
People have become more and more open to new tastes from different cultures. It’s allowed us to explore new flavors, like a za’atar bagel that’s influenced by Middle Eastern food. For this 25th anniversary, we’re trying out a calendar of bagel flavors, seeing what people like and respond to. We hope with the growing openness of our customers, we can keep adding interesting new bagels to our menu.

THB’s menu is constantly being updated with seasonal specials, like the pumpkin spice bagels, pink bagels for breast cancer awareness, and rainbow bagels to celebrate Pride. What are some flavors that stand out to you when you look back?
Well, I have a few. The Maryland Day bagel is one of my favorites. It’s great to see the pride people have for our state flag. I also love the za’atar bagel, especially with my turkey sandwich and the asiago bagel with our tuna salad. 

What’s your ultimate go-to order?
It depends on the time of the day or what I’m in the mood for. After a weekend out—which is a little less common for me these days—an egg, ham, and cheese on an everything bagel is the perfect cure. But the one I probably eat the most is the bacon, egg, and cheese. That’s our biggest seller. Just last year, we sold over half a million!

Toasted or untoasted?
For almost all of my bagels, I get them untoasted, so the freshness of the bagel shines. That’s how they do it in New York City—almost no one toasts their bagels there.

You’re in the midst of renovating the Towson flagship. What’s the significance of that project overlapping with the 25th anniversary?
The renovation represents our commitment to Towson. This is the end of a four-year renovation process that started with our other locations and is ending with Towson. We’ve updated the store a few times in the past, and each time we do, we’re demonstrating our commitment to staying here and investing in this community. I mean, Towson is in our name. This community is our family, and that’s also reflected in the new design of the store. We’ve installed a beautiful mural with the Italian and Maryland flags. The local artist [Cindy Fletcher-Holden] really did a wonderful job.

What are your plans and hopes for the future?
We’re looking at different opportunities. We love collaborations with local chefs. Last year, we did a collab with Chad Gauss from The Food Market, which was a PB&J with bacon on an everything bagel—his favorite sandwich. We’ve collaborated with brands like McCormick, and we always try to support local charities like American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Lifebridge Health for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the Casey Cares Foundation. 

In terms of bigger plans, we just bought a new commissary kitchen, which will allow us to go from producing 3,000 bagels to 12,000 bagels per hour—a big step up. We’re hoping to increase our wholesale and franchise business to keep growing in the communities around us. And with that growth, we can provide a better quality of life for our business partners and employees. When you work in the restaurant industry, it’s a big deal if you can be home by 5 p.m. and still have dinner with your family.

Why is Baltimore specifically a great home for THB?
Culturally, Baltimore is very diverse. People are always open to new flavors, which we love to experiment with. From a business standpoint, the city is well connected in the northeast. Being in the center of two big markets, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia, definitely makes it easier to grow. But on a more personal note, Baltimore reminds me a lot of the small Italian town I’m from, near Naples. Both places are by the water and have a big seafood culture, so that emotional and cultural connection always makes me glad that we landed here and not somewhere else.

Halloween is lurking just around the corner, and Baltimore is hosting plenty of events to get locals into the spooky spirit. In addition to dancing and drinks, join a holiday bike ride, catch a drag show, and try your hand at a hot dog eating contest—all in celebration of All Hallow’s Eve. Hope you’ve got your costume ready.

Fall isn’t just about colorful foliage or holiday feasts—it’s also prime time for spices and cloves to make their way into your daily cup of joe. A Pumpkin Spice Latte might be the first thing that comes to mind, but this season, why not ditch the Starbucks PSL for a PCL (Pumpkin Cheesecake Latte) at Order & Chaos in South Baltimore? Or pick up a warm oat milk honey graham latte, topped with actual toasted marshmallows, at Ceremony Coffee? These are just a few of the seasonal drinks you’ll find at local cafes, where coffee aficionados are whipping up fall creations that will leave you dreaming in hues of orange, yellow, and red. 

Apple Butter Latte at Aveley Farms Coffee Roasters
Coffee is king at this Towson roastery, which uses sustainably sourced, locally roasted beans to make delicious brews like the apple butter latte, featuring caramel apple syrup. This season, you can also go for the autumn spice latte, combining spiced maple syrup with cinnamon, espresso, and milk. If you’re really committed to the flavors of fall, top off either of the drinks with the shop’s salted caramel cold foam. 

Black Sesame Salted Caramel Latte at Cafe Dear Leon
This Canton cafe sees regular lines out the door for its rotating schedule of baked goods and sandos, but they’re also serving up a delicious fall sip that features black sesame, caramel syrup, and a pinch of Maldon salt for a blend of sweet and savory flavors. If you’re looking for a more familiar drink, they also sell a PSL, which makes use of house pumpkin syrup.

Oat Milk Honey Graham Latte at Ceremony Coffee Roasters
The baristas at Ceremony are always whipping up interesting drinks with fun names, like their new latte version of a s’more dubbed, “Get Toasted.” It’s an oat milk honey graham latte with chocolate, graham crackers, and toasted marshmallows. The shop—which operates locations in Harbor Point, Mt. Vernon, and Federal Hill—is also rolling out other fall creations, such as a pumpkin-pie drink called “Pumpkin to Talk About” and “Sweater Weather,” which adds a spiced apple twist to a traditional matcha latte. 

Iced Apple Crisp Brown Sugar Latte at David and Dad’s Cafe 
Housed in a historic bank building downtown, this grand cafe is the perfect place for hearty breakfast platters, deli sandwiches, and delicious fall drinks. Take a sip of their apple crisp latte, featuring brown sugar and oat milk, or try everything pumpkin with their pumpkin latte, pumpkin chai, and pumpkin cold brew.

Maple Brown Butter Caramel Coffee at Dooby’s 
Whether you like lattes, cold brews, or teas, add the Mt. Vernon mainstay’s maple browned-butter caramel syrup to your favorite brew for a kick of rich, warm nuttiness. The cafe also offers a range of seasonal coffee flavors including cardamom spice, brown sugar bourbon, and miso caramel.

Pumpkin Pie Latte at Kitsch Cafe 
Alright, so we’ve got the PSL, the PCL, and this cute cafe near the Johns Hopkins University campus is highlighting the PPL (pumpkin pie latte). The drink is the perfect mix of pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, milk, and espresso. If that’s not sweet enough for you, look for their rotating “frappé of the week,” which highlights unique flavors like the Honey Bun Frappé with ice blended honey, caramel, cream, and cold brew.

Pumpkin Cold Brew with Pumpkin Foam at Luna Garden
Can’t get enough pumpkin? This woman-owned Fells Point shop is brewing a pumpkin cold brew with pumpkin-flavored foam on top. Come for the coffee, but stay for the music and fun. Luna Garden is a part-cafe, part-bar, part-event space that serves drinks all day long. 

Pumpkin Cheesecake Latte at Order & Chaos Coffee 
If you’re looking for a new spin on a pumpkin drink, try this South Baltimore cafe’s new blend of pumpkin, cheesecake, and coffee for a decadent and rich boost to your day. Another option: the new brown sugar cold brew with maple cinnamon cold foam. Add one of the shop’s signature handheld waffles—they just dropped a seasonal caramel apple pie flavor—to your order for good measure.

Pumpkin Spice Latte at Red Emma’s
Everyone loves a good PSL, but why not order one that uses housemade organic pumpkin spice syrup? At this Waverly worker co-op, sip a warm PSL with a good book from one of the many uniquely-curated shelves.

Iced Oatmeal Cookie Latte at Spoons Cafe & Coffee Roasters
Nothing beats warm cookies and milk on a cold day, and this Federal Hill fave brings the two together in a mug of oat milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon. After your coffee, don’t forget brunch—served all day.

Golden Milk at Vent Coffee Roasters
If you want a break from the caffeine, try the turmeric-based golden milk at Vent inside Union Collective in Hampden, which is made with golden milk powder, macadamia milk, and simple syrup for a homey blend of sugar and spice. Need a buzz? You won’t be disappointed with their other seasonal items like a maple latte, apple crisp latte, and apple chai.

Salted Caramel Chai at Zeke’s Coffee
This local roaster in Lauraville and Pigtown is putting a spin on a classic spiced chai with salted caramel and whipped cream.
