The organizers of Hamilton’s Supercrawl have announced that the arts festival will be cancelled this year due to COVID-19.
In a press release sent Tuesday (June 16), Sonic Unyon said they were ‘crushed’ to announce that due to safety concerns, the event, scheduled to take place from September 4th to 6th, would be cancelled.
In the release, though, they say that while the big event will be cancelled plans are in the works to provide some kind of arts programming but details of that are not yet available.
“We’re working on plans to get together beginning in late fall and running through to early 2021. Look for an announcement in early fall with a fresh slate of happenings,” they say in the release.

The popular music and arts festival has grown in leaps and bounds since its inception in 2009.
What started as a small street festival has grown to attract big-name musicians to its stages, dozens of food trucks, hundreds of local artisans and organizations and tens of thousands of people to James Street North every year.
Unfortunately, Supercrawl joins a long list of big Hamilton events that have been forced to pull the plug in 2020.
Last month it was announced that The Peach Festival would not be going forward this year, as well as the CANUSA Games, which were to be held here this summer. The Barton Village Festival and the Cactus Festival in Dundas have also been cancelled, along with many others.
