HAMPDENFEST-CANCELED :(
As the organizers of Hampdenfest we're very disappointed to have to announce that there will be no Hampdenfest 2023. Our application was declined, with Baltimore city asking us to change the date. We have spent hours struggling and working on this, but unfortunately there is no workable second date available for us this year.
