Baltimore is buzzing with energy this week, so listeners looking for plans from today through the weekend are in for a real treat. First up, all weekend long, Fells Point is transforming into a slice of Munich with Oktobierfest at Max’s Taphouse. Expect dozens of German and German-style beers, boisterous crowds, and plenty of pretzels. The party kicks off at 11:30 each morning and goes well into the night, and there’s no cover charge according to Baltimore Magazine.

Friday night, music lovers should head to CFG Bank Arena where Grammy-winner Kali Uchis brings her Sincerely Tour to Baltimore, with doors opening at 6 and the show at 7, as shared by Baltimore Fishbowl and Baltimore Magazine. For jazz fans, the Blackbyrds are celebrating their hit “Rock Creek Park” with a 50th-anniversary concert at Keystone Korner.

If you like your weekends hands-on, Saturday at the Maryland Science Center brings the Science Arcade, full of interactive game-making, cardboard pinball, and the chance to transform yourself into a video game character. It’s perfect for families from noon to four.

Foodies and music fans cannot miss the Trifecta Food Truck and Music Festival at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium on Saturday. Over 30 food trucks and a dozen live bands will keep you fed and dancing all day from 11 a.m. into the evening. According to Baltimore Fishbowl, this is Maryland’s biggest food truck festival.

For something unique and quirky, the Big Dill Pickle Festival claims to be the world’s largest pickle party and takes place Saturday and Sunday at Power Plant Live from 11 a.m. Pickle aficionados can expect tasting competitions, themed cocktails, and never-ending pickle puns.

Families can head over to the Maryland Zoo Saturday for the Hispanic Heritage Month Celebration, featuring folkloric dancers and cultural fun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Meanwhile, Creative Alliance hosts Mortified’s Back to School edition Saturday at 7 p.m., where brave souls share their most cringe-worthy teenage writing—true comedy gold for grown-ups.

Sunday welcomes the final day of OktoBIERfest and also marks a special closing performance at the Baltimore Museum of Art for the Black Earth Rising exhibition, with Jamal R. Moore performing at 2 p.m.
