Shopping local has never been easier or more fruitful than it is right now, especially if you’re looking for an easy way to buy fruit! We’ve got that, and we’ve got everything else too. From textiles, fashion, home and garden, decor, art and art supplies to dog bones and garden gnomes, you name it, we’ve got it. It’s all here, and it’s all Hamilton!

In a perfect world we would have loved nothing more than to host our summer music series as we have in past years…but in these extraordinary times, we are making the best of the new reality.

When are there too many choices in what to eat? Never, that’s when! The truth is, if you ate out every day for a year, you still won’t have scratched the surface of the food in this town. Better get moving, is what we’re saying, and here’s the best place to start!

If we’re being honest, our least favourite part about being in public is having to put on pants. Yes, we know it’s important to socialize, get active, learn a new skill, etc, but, again, pants! Thankfully we no longer need despair, and neither do you, because with live streaming these things have never been more simple or pants free. Livin’ the dream, my friends, is as easy as clickin’ the stream!

Hamilton is home to such a diverse and amazing arts community. The artists below are just a sampling of what’s on the Arts Alive page. Click explore more to immerse yourself in the city’s best and brightest.
