There’s no season that shows off the Hamilton area quite like the fall. The air turns crisp, the Escarpment glows with colour and local traditions bring people together in the best ways. From pumpkin picking and fairs to arts festivals and charity events, this season is packed with things to do and reasons to get outside!
This season is one of my favourites, and below are a few of my top events to enjoy fall in Hamilton!
