A weekend in early August Gage Park, Hamilton
Hamilton's long-running free music festival fills Gage Park with national headliners, artisan markets and food vendors every August — a tradition going back to the 1970s.
Gage Park itself, with its fountain and tropical greenhouse, is one of the city's great green spaces.
Realtor's Local Tip
Bring a blanket and stake out the bandshell lawn late afternoon. The surrounding Gage Park/St. Clair neighbourhoods are classic brick-and-character Hamilton at approachable prices.
