Discover White Marsh

White Marsh offers several different ways to shape a stay: White Marsh Mall is a destination for shopping, while events at THE AVENUE, StoryWalk®, and arcade games offer other experiences. When choosing a hotel, first consider whether a specific event will shape your stay or whether you’d rather focus on shopping and leisure. The offerings vary considerably in timing and character.

Shopping and Activities for Children

White Marsh Mall spans 1.2 million square feet and is a major shopping destination. If you’d like to include shopping in your trip, you can plan a visit to the mall as a dedicated activity. One event with a clearly defined schedule is Tots@10:00. The schedule listed for 2026 is the first Thursday of each month from April through October, from 10 a.m. to noon. Activities are intended for children up to and including age five. This is a two-hour morning event for that age group. Dates and programming may change; check the specific event date if it is an important part of your travel plans.

Market and Entertainment at THE AVENUE

My Sunday Market is a street fair at THE AVENUE where local artisans and artists showcase art and products. Examples of rotating entertainment include face painting, live bands, and build-your-own bouquet bars. The program ranges from creative activities to music, but may vary from event to event. My Sunday Market is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with an acoustic performance on the central plaza stage from noon to 2 p.m. Dates, participation, and entertainment may change. If you’re interested specifically in the acoustic performance, its time slot is the relevant point of reference within the longer market hours.

StoryWalk®: A Different Experience

A description from 2023 describes the StoryWalk® at THE AVENUE at White Marsh as a walking route featuring an illustrated children’s book. At the time, the route began in front of Barnes & Noble and continued to and around the side of Old Navy. Visitors could follow numbered signs. The concept combined walking and reading along a set sequence, unlike the scheduled events Tots@10:00 and My Sunday Market. The route described is historical; the installation may have been updated.

Arcade Games, Dining, and Event Spaces

Dave & Buster's White Marsh has more than 240 arcade games. It also features a large sports bar, a dining room, and several private rooms for corporate events. So, in addition to games, the venue offers dining facilities and spaces for business events as distinct aspects of its offerings. The selection of games, facilities, and event arrangements may change.

Planning Priorities for Your Trip

The event time slots are easy to compare: Tots@10:00 is a two-hour morning event, while My Sunday Market runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the acoustic performance from noon to 2 p.m. This can help you assess the timing of a stay without treating the two programs as equivalent. You can then use your travel dates and preferred focus to guide your search for hotels in White Marsh. If an event is the deciding factor, check its specific date before making plans; for shopping, arcade games, or dining, other interests take priority.
