It’s Labor Day weekend, which means three days off work for most of us. While there aren’t many activities happening on the actual day — which makes sense since it celebrates, well, laborers — the days preceding it are filled with fun options. If you haven’t already made your way to the Maryland State Fair, you certainly should (if only to try the food). Otherwise, grab your skates or your 16th-century clothes and check out our suggestions below.

Boosie x Webbie

If you grew up in Baltimore during the 2000s, you were bound to hear some type of combination of Boosie Badazz and Webbie’s music. Whether it was their popular singles like “Independent” and he remix of “Wipe Me Down,” or the music from their underground projects, their songs were being blasted in somebody’s car with the window rolled down. Now these legends will perform those same songs in Charm City.

Time: 8 p.m.
