Hampdenfest 2011 is Saturday, September 10, 2011 from 10am-7pm.
Always a good time, there are exhibitors, games, entertainment, and more. Plus this is the last year for “Hampden Idol!”
The big draws tend to be the wildly popular “Toilet Bowl Race” and the Hampden Film Festival.
This year there is even the Great Baltimore Mac Off, where chefs will submit their best Mac & Cheese recipes and are judged.
What is Hampdenfest? According to their site:
HampdenFest features 4 stages of music and art performances, an activity area for kids, an emerging artists exhibit and a film festival, as well as four blocks of arts and crafts vendors and other wares from a wide range of merchants and artists.
So much to do & see! So come on down to fun-filled Hampden, and visit Hampdenfest on the 10th!

HampdenFest 2010 will be held September 11, 2010 from 10 am – 7 pm on the Avenue — 36th Street — in Hampden, Hon!
HampdenFest is a community arts festival with four blocks of arts & crafts vendors, local food and drink, antiques, kids’ activities, three stages for art & musical performances, and the Hampden Village Merchants Association shops.
The silly & fun event is the toilet racing (yes, you read that right, toilet racing), where participants will have built a car-type racing machine using a clean toilet, and race in drag-racing type competition. The first heat begins at 10 am.
A short-film mini Film Festival will be held with shorts from local producers.
This comes on the heels of the fun Annual Honfest that was held June 12 & 13, 2010. Hampden is such a great hub of neat events. So come on down to Hampden, Hon, and visit Hampdenfest on the 11th!
