Grab your boas and tease that beehive! HONfest symbolizes all the charm and goodwill that lies within the hearts of those who live, work, and play in Bawlmer. “Hon” the Bawlmer term of endearment short for “Honey”, embodies the warmth and affection bestowed upon our neighbors and visitors alike by the historic working women of Baltimore. HONfest is an annual celebration in honor of these women.

Since 1994, HONfest has grown from a tiny Baltimore’s Best Hon Pageant to a nationally recognized festival that covers four city blocks along West 36th Street in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore. The festival gathers 35,000+ attendees; dozens of food, craft, corporate and non-profit vendors; 3 music stages; and Baltimore’s Best Hon Contest.

C’mon down, hon! It’s a festival like none other!
