This year, the event boasts an impressive selection of live music, with the likes of Broken Social Scene, J Mascis, Paley & Francis, and Said The Whale taking to the stage. An overabundance of artists and performers will line the streets, alongside dozens of visual & installation art pieces, art-based exhibits, film projection screens, wall projections, dance troupes, open galleries, vendor/artist/community booths and much more!

Make sure to come out to this 3rd Annual Supercrawl, and take part in what has been coined the best medium sized festival in the city of Hamilton.
