The Best Time to Book a Flight to Maryland
The most popular time to visit Maryland is in the summer, from June until August. The weather can get very hot during this time of year, but the city is host to several unique festivals and events during this time, including the Maryland State Fair, the Baltimore Pride Festival, and the Baltimore Farmers' Market and Bazaar. The summer also gives you the opportunity to visit summer beach destinations like Ocean City, Assateague Island, and more.
If you're planning on visiting Maryland for walking tours or physical outdoor activity, it's perhaps best to book your flight to Maryland in the spring, between March and May. The weather is milder during this time of year.
The late-spring and summer are perfect times for picking berries at Maryland farms.
