The Baltimore Hon subculture originated in the 1950s-1960s and represents working class women in Baltimore. Known as "Hons", they have an eccentric style with big hair, makeup, and colorful clothes. Café Hon in Hampden neighborhood is considered the epicenter of Hon culture, serving Baltimore specialties. The annual HonFest celebrates Hon culture with events and crowning of "Miss Hon". Filmmaker John Waters has prominently featured the Hons in his movies that showcase Baltimore's quirky charm.
