So what’s this “Festival With A Purpose” all about?
Started in 2024…Returning June 7th, 2025!
THE DREAM
Aiming to bring the Hampden community together for a day of celebration, neighborhood investment, and fundraising for local nonprofits, Hampden Highlights will bring a fresh and new vision to the neighborhood for a day of festivities that only Hampden can create.
The festival hopes to fill a void felt by residents for transformative neighborhood gatherings and to provide a platform for local businesses, nonprofits, artists, musicians, and residents to showcase their talents and contributions.
THE PURPOSE
The goal of Hampden Highlights is to bring the Hampden community and the greater Baltimore community together to celebrate the creative, local talents of Hampden and support critical services that our local nonprofits provide. A portion of the proceeds from the event will go directly into the neighborhood’s non-profit initiatives including St. Luke’s on The Avenue, Art With A Heart, and Planned Parenthood of MD. We hope that we can not only celebrate the work they do for our community but also give back and continue to financially support the pillars of our community.
