Hamilton Craft Brew Cruise
If you love craft beer and boats, you have to check out the Hamilton Craft Brew Cruise.
The folks at the Hamilton Harbour Queen are taking the traditional craft beer festival experience and putting it on board. You will sail for three hours, and you will have access to some of the best local craft brewers and their beer.
Along with the cruise itself, your ticket will get you a commemorative mug and three tokens for 4oz beer samples. Additional tokens will be available for purchase on board.
The cruise runs from 2 to 5 pm and tickets are available for purchase online. This is a 19+ event.
Bonobo at the Royal Botanical Gardens
Visit Hamilton’s Royal Botanical Gardens this Saturday for an unforgettable performance by Bonobo. This rare performance will feature the alchemy of English live-electronica.
The performance will take place at 5:30 pm at the arboretum. Tickets are available online.
Hamilton’s Dark History Tour
Hamilton’s history is full of sinister stories. From terrible reputations, mafia connections, and assassinations, Hamilton has been home to many infamous crimes and criminals.
On Saturday night, let Hamilton Ghost Walks take you on a tour of the city. Learn some of Hamilton’s less talked about history; these stories are too dark for other city tours.
Hamilton’s Dark History Tour begins in the alleyway behind Radius. All ages are welcome, but keep in mind that the subject matter may not be appropriate for everyone. The tour begins at 8:30 pm with tickets available online.
