HonFest
HonFest is an annual festival held in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. HonFest takes its name from the word "hon" — a slang term of address or endearment, being an abbreviation for "honey" in Baltimorese; it is often used in the common greeting "Hey, hon." The festival began in 1994 as a local celebration of the Baltimorese lifestyle and stereotype by Cafe Hon, and since then has become one of the most visited festivals in Baltimore. The summer festival traditionally was one day; however, starting in 2007, it lasts two days, a Saturday and Sunday. The festival crowns "Miss Hon" after a contest in which people dress in a "hon" outfit, which usually is a 1960s-style beehive hairdo, eye shadow, spandex pants, and leopard print clothing.
"Hon" is short for "honey", a term of endearment often used in Baltimorese. The term has grown into a stereotype and a subculture.
