Things to Do in Hampden
North BaltimoreNorth Planning DistrictZIP 21211
Hampden is North Baltimore's quirky creative heart, best known for the shops and cafes of The Avenue on 36th Street. Vintage stores, indie boutiques, art galleries, and beloved restaurants sit side by side in a walkable stretch that celebrates the city's offbeat side. The neighborhood throws some of Baltimore's most famous events, from the kitschy HonFest to the dazzling Miracle on 34th Street holiday lights, and its coffee shops and bars keep a steady local buzz year-round. Independent and proudly weird, Hampden rewards a slow afternoon of browsing followed by dinner and drinks among the makers, musicians, and characters who give it personality.
