The Waldorf School of Baltimore invites families to its 38th Annual Waldorf Fair on Sunday, November 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the school’s scenic Tamarind Road campus (4801 Tamarind Road). Admission is free, though tickets are required for select activities such as the pumpkin catapult and the Fairy Grotto.
Hands‑On Activities for Kids
Children can explore a variety of unhurried, creative stations. They can roll beeswax candles, build a pumpkin‑launching catapult, and wander through an immersive Fairy Grotto where a traveling pocket fairy awaits discovery. Musical instrument stations let youngsters try simple drums, xylophones, and other folk instruments. A marionette show performed by Waldorf teachers—who rehearse evenings after class—offers a whimsical theatrical experience that has become a fair favorite.
Adult Attractions and Holiday Shopping
While kids are busy crafting, adults can browse handmade goods from local artists, enjoy live acoustic music, and sip hot cider. Food trucks provide warm pretzels and other seasonal treats, and a community bake‑sale adds a home‑cooked touch. Early holiday shoppers will find unique gifts among the vendor stalls, making the fair a practical stop on a busy November weekend.
Why the Waldorf Fair Matters
The fair reflects the Waldorf School’s educational philosophy, which emphasizes slow, thoughtful making and generous imagination. By offering a day where families can create together, the event reinforces community bonds and provides a wholesome alternative to screen‑focused entertainment. Parents seeking a values‑centered, family‑friendly outing will find the fair aligns with traditional family priorities.
Practical Details
Tickets for the pumpkin catapult, Fairy Grotto and other select experiences can be purchased in advance on the school’s website. Parking is available on the school grounds, and the venue is fully accessible. The fair runs rain or shine, with indoor backup spaces for the marionette performances.
Mark your calendar for November 15 and enjoy a day of creativity, music, and community spirit at the Waldorf School of Baltimore.
