In case you haven't heard, the city has been gearing up for a three-year celebration commemorating the bicentennial of the War of 1812. Festivities begin this Wednesday with the Star-Spangled Sailabration, which will bring tall ships from across the world to the Inner Harbor. Ships are expected to start arriving on Wednesday at 9 a.m., and free tours of the ships will run from Thursday through Monday between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. at North Locust Point. On Tuesday, a parade of departure will take place. Of course, the festival isn't only about tall ships; the Blue Angels will also make an appearance, Fort McHenry National Monument will have special activities, and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra will premiere Philip Glass' Overture. For a full schedule of events -- including times and locations -- check out About Baltimore's page on the Star-Spangled Sailabration.
