As the weather turns colder we once again start thinking of festive holiday traditions, with one of the most timeless being celebrating Christmas in the heart of downtown Hamilton at Gore Park. Presented by The City of Hamilton and The Downtown Hamilton BIA, the annual Christmas Tree of Hope Lighting and Concert will take place this year in Friday, December 6 from 5pm to 7pm.

 Enjoy free live music from the Big Rude Jake, grab a selfie with Santa, enjoy some free maple taffy on snow and take in the Christmas décor around the park. Enjoy beautiful views of downtown Hamilton free ride on the Ferris wheel located by the Gore Park fountain – you won’t be able to miss it!

Join us as we light up the downtown with the Christmas Tree of Hope and festive lighting in Gore Park at 6:30pm.  Cash donations and unwrapped toys for the Children’s Fund can be donated during the event December 6^th.

The Christmas Tree of Hope Lighting and Concert marks the launch of Christmas activities throughout Hamilton.  The Gore Park Ferris Wheel will continue to operate daily through December 23rd from noon until 8pm.
