ABOUT SUPERCRAWL

Supercrawl is a free evening of art and music on James Street North in Hamilton, Ontario. Last year’s edition happened on Saturday, September 25th, 2010 from 1 PM till 11 PM on James Street North from York Blvd/Wilson Street heading north to Barton Street.

Supercrawl is an annual event that celebrates the diversity of Hamilton’s James Street North district, our multi-disciplinary arts community, and the incredible spark that results with our unique mix of cultures, businesses and creative people.

In 2009, Supercrawl was initiated by a team of artists and community builders who wanted to see the monthly event on James Street North, the ART CRAWL, expand to include music in a greater way, and to take full advantage of an entire street of cultural experiences. This first edition of the festival won the “Best Small Festival of the Year Award” at the twelfth annual Hamilton Tourism Awards and the second edition won “Best Medium Festival” at the thirteenth edition of the Hamilton Tourism Awards.
