Docuseries

We asked some of the city’s creators, business owners, and magic-makers what keeps them inspired and connected to the city they call home. And what visitors can expect to experience when they’re here. Let them show you the Hamilton they love.

"People here really look out for each other and there's that sense of caring. It feeds your soul and that's a good thing.
We have so much to offer but it's small so you don't have to make big plans. It's very simple. If you talk to people that come from out of town, they say there's something very special here and you kind of want to be a part of it."

"Hamilton is a perfect balance of big and small. It's a perfect balance of slow and fast. It's the perfect hub to get to anywhere I want to get to. If I want a little bit of city life, if I want a little bit of nature, everything is just a stone's throw away. That's really what keeps me here."

"We get lost in this idea that you have to be really good at art to enjoy art. When art really is about expression and it's about sharing stories or ideas with each other. That's what we do here.
It's a big city but it's not. It's unique in that way."

"There's something new happening in this city all the time, that we learn about, that we can participate in, that we can contribute to. There's this energy… it's people exploring and what they're exploring is what people are creating."

"Hamilton is both a small town and a larger city. There's variety here. There's a real personality here. It's not a cookie-cutter thing.
The heart of Hamilton is the people. I love this city and it's because of the people more than anything else. Just the connectivity and the spirit we have with the Hamilton community have just totally blown me away."

"We have a mix of everything. It's such a close small-town vibe for a big city.
Our music and arts scene here is unmatched compared to cities in this area. I think Hamilton has something really special and I think you feel it when you come to our events and concerts."
