Preakness Crab Derby  
It's post time at Lexington Market! Join us in mid-May for the most hilarious of
Preakness Events. Cheer for your favorite local celebrity as they actually
jockey blue crabs to the finish line. No crab mallets allowed! Using spray
bottles and long sticks with balls attached with string, celebrities race on
their hands and knees to finish first. It's absolutely ridiculous! The winner
takes home a "purse" of $500 to the charity of choice. Don't miss the
brightest jewel in racing's quadruple crown!
Lunch With the Elephants
Join us for one of Baltimore's most wonderful traditions, "Lunch With the
Elephants." Follow Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey's mighty
pachyderms from the Baltimore Arena, up Eutaw Street to Lexington Market's
South Parking Lot. The astounding elephants are greeted by thousands of
adoring fans, live music and authentic circus clowns. Once the elephants
arrive, they are treated to the world's largest stand up vegetarian buffet. They
dine on 1100 oranges, 1000 apples, 500 heads of lettuce, 700 bananas, 400
pears and 500 carrots. Baltimore is the only city in the country to host this
event on a yearly basis. It's just not Spring until the elephants come to
Lexington Market.
