FESTIVAL EVENTS

Football x Music x Culture

The 2023 Grey Cup Festival will be a celebration like no other experienced in Hamilton.  With over 40 events between November 13 to 19, the Festival will have something for the avid fan, families, and those new to football. 

Its epicentre is Fan Central, which will include James Street, the Canadian Armed Forces Fan Zone, and Telus Kick for Good Courtyard.  Here fans, will have an opportunity to enjoy interactive activities, food, art installations, and games.

Our lineup also includes unique 'Built in The Hammer' events, such as the James Street experience thanks to the creators of Hamilton’s famous 'Supercrawl' cultural and music event, as well as The Hamilton Santa Claus and Grey Cup Parade staged by the organizers of the Hamilton Santa Claus Parade.

As well, we’ll have popular Grey Cup week staples in the CFL Awards and Fan State of the League Address.

Most events are free, and many will take place in downtown Hamilton and in proximity, ensuring easy access for everyone.
