HampdenFest | 09.11.2010 @ 11:00 am

HampdenFest is the annual one day street festival in the historic, artistic and charming neighborhood of Hampden.  This annual festival raises money to support the Hampden Family Center, The Hampden Community Council and the local arts of the region.  HampdenFest spans five block of W 36th St. plus two block of Chestnut Ave. and features more than two hundred artist vendros and 75 musical groups while showcasing our more than 100 independent shops and boutiques.

This year's festival will feature four stages (instead of our traditional three) of music and will expand to include two blocks of Chestnut avenue for the Cherity Toilet Bowl Derby Races.  The CTBDR is a new fun idea that involves using toilets (being donated by the loading dock) built into creative go-carts and raced in a two block down hill course for fun and prizes.  Entry fees for this event will be donated to a yet undisclosed charity.  The CTBDR is designed to attract more media and more attendance to the festival.  There will also be the Second Annual HampdenFest Film Fest.  We are expecting record crowds this year.
