Hamilton Day - Holiday Shop Kick-Off

Waterdown Village will be participating in 'Hamilton Day' - a City-wide initiative organized by the Hamilton, Flamborough and Stoney Creek Chambers of Commerce to celebrate and support local shopping, re-vitalize local economies and, in our case, also kick-off the 2021 holiday season.

Hamilton Day will be a month-long campaign culminating in a one-day celebration of all things local - tentatively scheduled for Saturday, November 20.

Marketing tools will be made available shortly to help individual businesses plan their participation in Hamilton Day.

Here are some things we'll be doing in Waterdown Village:

Street activations (buskers, carollers, selfie photo ops)
Santa and elf visits
Shop Late Event
Promoted Tax-Free Event (for interested participating businesses)
Local 'winter market' artisan booths.
