Don’t let this heat wave scare you off, there are a bunch of great outdoor shows to check out this week. Baltimore’s annual Artscape takes place this weekend and features a ton of free live music and all the other weird stuff that Baltimore does so well. If that sounds a little too sweaty for you, we have some decent indoor alternatives, as well.
