1. Who's hungry? The Baltimore Taco Festival is returning this weekend. This year's event will feature over 25 taco and food vendors, Lucha Libre Wrestling, and a Tequila Expo. The festival will take place from Nov. 5-6 at Power Plant Live! (Baltimore Taco Festival via Instagram)
2. A new comedy by local playwright Susan Middaugh will have a staged reading on Nov. 6 at the Baltimore County Arts Guild in Catonsville.
