This year will mark the festival’s return to its traditional three-day format in the wake of the pandemic. In 2020, the festival was cancelled and in 2021, programming was contained to just one day in September.
At the time, it was the city’s first major post-lockdown event.

Now in its 46th season, the Festival of Friends, one of Hamilton’s most popular summer arts and music festivals, has been at Gage Park since 1976, aside from a six-year stint at Ancaster Fairgrounds.
This year, the festival takes place over the Civic Holiday weekend, July 29 to 31, and, as always, is free to attend.
