Looking for something to do this weekend? Look no further. We’ve found a wide range of events across the city for all ages and interests to enjoy.
Here’s what’s happening in Hamilton this weekend.
Saturday
Psychic and Wellness Fair
Relax your mind, body, and spirit as you take a stroll through the Physic and Wellness fair. Taking place on the grounds of the Erland Lee Museum, you’re welcome to enjoy a day filled with different activities.
There’ll be vendors, holistic health practitioners, and readers. It’s important to note that this event is for your entertainment only.
The fair takes place at 552 Ridge Road and runs from 10 am to 4 pm. Admission is one non-perishable food item per person.
Hamilton Beer Tour
If you love your local breweries, you can’t miss out on this Taste of Hamilton beer tour.
On the tour, you’ll visit four local breweries, receiving a flight of beer at each location. As the tour progresses, you’ll learn from different brew masters how to taste beer like an expert. At one of the locations you’ll receive a food pairing, and at a different brewery you’ll get a behind the scenes tour.
The tour begins at 12 pm and lasts 5 hours. Tickets cost $90 per person before tax and are available online.
Arkells Present The Rally
Arkells are throwing one epic party at Tim Hortons Field. The Rally, headlined by the Arkells, is an evening of song and dance that is sure to kick off your summer right. The concert will also feature performances by Ellevator, Bishop Briggs, and Cold War Kids.
Before The Rally starts, there’ll be a pop-up market at the gate one entrance to Tim Hortons Field. Presented by Hamilton Flea, there will be over 20 vendors selling everything from treats to merchandise to vintage goods.
The pre-show market opens at 1 pm, and doors for the concert will open at 5 pm. Tickets are still available and can be purchased online. One dollar from each ticket sale will be donated to Refuge Hamilton Centre for Newcomer Health.
Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice Block Party
Ready to have fun and donate to a great cause? The third annual Albion Falls Block Party for the Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice is happening this Saturday.
This outdoor event is fun for the entire family. The block party features a live band, three food trucks, a photobooth, face painting, and a guest appearance by Bruiser from the Hamilton Bulldogs. There’ll be plenty of prizes being raffled off throughout the evening.
The event starts at 5 pm and the band begins at 6 pm. The Albion Falls Boulevard block party is free to attend but make sure to bring your wallet! Donations are strongly encouraged to help support Dr. Bob Kemp Hospice.
Sunday
Greyhound Meet & Greet
Have you ever wanted to meet a Greyhound? Come on down to Bring Your Dog Café this Sunday to see the sweetest group of retired racing Greyhounds you’ll ever met.
Members of the Greyhound Lovers of Hamilton-Wentworth (GLOHW) group will be there with their dogs to answer all of your questions about the breed. After meeting these dogs, you’ll understand why The Simpsons love Santa’s Little Helper so much.
The meet and greet runs from 11 am to 2:30 pm. The event is free, but make sure you grab a beverage or a bite to eat from the café.
Duck Dash at Wild Waterworks
The Joseph Brant Hospital Foundation is holding its inaugural Duck Dash at Wild Waterworks. The Duck Dash is a fun, family friendly way to raise funds for Joseph Brant Hospital’s Critical Needs.
Each purchased Duck Dash ticket will correspond to a numbered rubber duck. The rubber ducks will ‘race’ each other for a chance to win a selection of great prizes. The first place winner will receive a $1,000 gift card to Burlington Mall.
The Duck Dash falls on Wild Waterworks’ family day, which runs from 11 am to 3:30 pm. The Duck Dash starts at 3 pm, and tickets for the ducks can be purchased here. You must be a paid guest at Wild Waterworks to participate.
