Maybe it’s sitting on your front porched illuminated by a candle, maybe it’s a scent from a candle filling your household, maybe your dog has a costume just like it… it’s orange, large, and a fall staple: the pumpkin!

The pumpkin seems to be evolving in new creative ways every single fall and 2020 is no exception. Union Wharf residents, if you are craving the iconic fall flavor of pumpkin spice, there are plenty of options right here in Baltimore.
