The autumn equinox has officially ushered in fall.
With Baltimorehenge on the horizon — when the setting sun in the fall and sunrise in the spring align with the city’s east-west grid — our sunlight is numbered and Halloween is nigh.
Whether you’re sipping a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew or sporting shorts during any remaining 80-degree highs, we’ve gone ahead and compiled a list of Baltimore County happenings fit for any season.
Here are some things to do for the week ending Wednesday Oct. 1.
Clean the local stream!
9:30 a.m.-noon Friday
Volunteer to help clean up your local community during the Irvine Nature Center’s “Project Clean Stream” event. Meet at the center, located at 11201 Garrison Forest Road in Owings Mills.
Are you a mixologist?
6-8 p.m. Friday
Test your bartending skills at Star Bright Farm during their “Cocktails for the Curious” event designed to “celebrate the fruits of late summer” by creating four artisanal cocktails paired with seasonal charcuterie. Perfect for date night or an evening of creativity. Purchase tickets here and join the fun at 2950 Garrett Road in White Hall.
New ‘Lilo & Stitch’ flick
6:30-9:30 p.m. Friday
Fall Family Movie Night kicks off at the Hunt Valley Towne Centre with a showing of “Lilo & Stitch” at 118 Shawan Road in Cockeysville. A $10 ticket covers access to the movie, balloon art and swag bag (with enough goodies for two kids).

Vroom, vroom

Chasing legacy
11 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday
We may be a far cry from giddying up for the next Triple Crown, but Baltimore County always has an equestrian event up its sleeve. Check out the steeplechase showcase during The Legacy Chase in Cockeysville at 1401 Shawan Road. Tickets are $80 and may be purchased here.
17th Annual Cockeysville Fall Festival

Bluegrass at Braglio
Noon-5 p.m. Sunday
Does the fiddle make you dance? Does the banjo inspire toe-tapping? Are you a fan of bluegrass jams? Join the Braglio Farms Bluegrass Festival at 10519 Marriottsville Road in Randallstown for an afternoon of live music. The cover is just $10.
