End summer with a bang at Hamilton's iconic Supercrawl music and arts festival. Expect the unexpected as you wander the downtown core - a perfect way to explore and enjoy Hamilton's buzz-worthy arts and music 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.
• This year, the live music stages will feature an incredible lineup of diverse headliners, Aysanabee, Preston Pablo, Mariel Buckley, The Grapes of Wrath, Murda Beatz, William Prince, and Protest The Hero. For the full music lineup, visit the Supercrawl website.
• 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.
