As the snow starts to melt, we are looking forward to a busy March. Not only for the inevitable spring cleaning, and the emergence of plants and animals after their winter slumbers. We are looking forward to a host of big events that will be going on in Hamilton.
Amazing Music!
Hamilton has long been recognized as a centre of music and culture in Canada. There are a number of historically important venues and recording studios, theatres and clubs. For big, headline acts, you can see Tourism Hamilton’s calendar, highlighting places like the TD Coliseum and the Bridgeworks.
For those who like things classical, there are also many performances by the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. And any number of groups and artists perform in smaller venues, such as Mills Hardware, and clubs downtown and in Hess Village. Hamilton has so many music venues, it’s hard to keep track!
But from March 26 to 29 this month, Hamilton is hosting an event so big that it even bumped the usual seasonal calendar highlight. Generally, the last weekend in March means the Around the Bay road race – for more than a century, in fact. This year, however, the Juno Awards will be coming to Hamilton and bringing all of Canada’s music stars.
We are so excited for people who love music to stay here at the hostel!
The Race is Still On!
Don’t worry – the race hasn’t been cancelled. It’s simply been pushed to April, and will be taking place on Sunday, April 12th. There are four different starting lines, for the four different race difficulties, and shuttle buses have been provided to help runners get where they need to be.
We really enjoy being a comfortable and relaxing place for people to stay when they travel for such an amazing event.
We are excited to welcome back some dedicated runners, who have been racing for years and stayed with us many times. The Around the Bay race is the oldest road race in North America and Hamilton is so proud to host it! And we are proud to host its runners from all over the world.
