I'm really excited about all of the great events that are being planned along Concession Street this spring and summer! 

The first event on the street is a Bunny Hop & Seek, which is taking place on April 15. The business community is planning a lot of fun activities for the kids. Find out all about it here.

I am also really happy that Sidewalk Sounds is taking place again this year. The first event will take place on May 19 and it is starting to sound like it's going to be pretty fun!  Get more details here. 

The Concession Street Market Village is another new event. It's planned for every Saturday of the month! This is going to be such a great way for the community to get out and see eachother on a regular basis, and to meet some of the many makers in #HamOnt! Get all the details here! 

And then of course there's Streetfest, which has been taking place on Concession Street for as long as we can all remember. It's a beloved event for the community and everyone is excited that it's back for another year. Make sure to come out and celebrate summer with us on June 1st! You can get more details about it here. 

Sidewalk Sounds, Streetfest, and The Saturday Market events are looking for vendors. Please call them for more details. You can also apply right on the site!

I can't wait to see you out and about and enjoying this amazing we community that we have!

 The Makers Market from James Street North and the Concession Street Business Improvement Area worked together to bring this amazing market Uptown for holiday shoppers on The Mountain! I'm really excited about it! My wife and I plan to get a big chunk of our Christmas shopping done on those two nights. With the vendors at the market, and the other stores on the street we are pretty excited about all of the items we will be able to check off of our lists!

To celebrate and make the night merrier for you I'm opening my doors for dinner! Please come join me before or after you check out the Maker Market on Dec 15 or 16. We'll be serving dinner from 5pm - 8pm.
