Leave your car at home and come walk, ride, or roll down James St. North! Join us for this family-friendly event by walking, cycling, rollerblading or skateboarding the whole family over to James St. North from York Blvd to Guise, including Gore Park, between the hours of 10am to 5pm.

During this time, the street will be closed to cars and we ask you find an alternate route if you must drive, or park your car and get active!  We invite everyone to experience James St North, the downtown, and the waterfront from the middle of the street!

Want to get involved? There are three great ways to be a part of this fun festival:

  1. Come out on the street and bring a friend (or two)!
  2. Host an activity – play a game or teach a class!
  3. Volunteer to be a guide and get a free t-shirt!

For more information on how to be involved, contact Kathryn at kathryn@openstreetshamilton.ca
