End summer with a bang at Hamilton's legendary Supercrawl music and arts festival as it celebrates its fifteenth season. Expect the unexpected as you wander the downtown core - a perfect introduction to Hamilton's buzz-worthy arts scene.
- Every September, the free arts festival shuts down James Street North to traffic for three dazzling days of live music, art installations, theatre, dance, fashion, food, and fun.
- Supercrawl serves up a feast of food options, with around 50 food trucks, a beer garden, alongside all the cafes, bars, and restaurants that line the street.
- Stop by the Visitor Experience Centre in the historic Lister Building for information, vendors and locally made souvenirs. Open Friday and Saturday from 10 am to 10 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm.
