Hampdenfest

Added on September 23, 2014 by Joshua Sinn.

Hampdenfest, a local Baltimore festival celebrating all that is interesting in the Hampden neighborhood, nearly didn't happen this year. Due to everything going on for Baltimore's Sailabration, which was happening the weekend of the originally-scheduled Hampdenfest, the city felt it couldn't hold both. Some hard-working and determined organizers made sure 2014 saw Hampdenfest and I'm sure glad they did.

I only made there towards the end of the day, but it was well worth it!

Honfest 2014

Added on June 16, 2014 by Joshua Sinn.

This year marked the 20th anniversary of Baltimore's famous Honfest. Every June, the Hampden neighborhood becomes flooded with beehives, flamingo sunglasses, and 50s dresses, welcoming people from all over the country who want to celebrate the heritage of Baltimore. Crack open a Boh and enjoy!
