Well, that came upon us rather quickly.

The weekend is here, Hamilton, and it looks like it will be a beauty with daytime high temperatures in the mid-20s and a slight risk of rain (but who’s going to let a little rain stop them from enjoying all that the city has to offer?).

I’m sure we could all use some time to relax after a week of getting back into the routine of school but if you’re up for some fun, there is plenty happening in and around Hamilton to keep you busy.

Here are 5 things happening in Hamilton this weekend for September 10, 11 and 12.

5. Live comedy


Casey Corbin, who has appeared on The Comedy Network, Just For Laughs and CBC, is appearing this Friday and Saturday at Levity Comedy Club & Lounge in downtown Hamilton. Corbin won $10,000 at the 8th Annual Brantford Comedy Festival several years ago and has shared a stage with renowned comedians including Gerry Dee, Rory Scovel, Amy Schumer and others. Showtimes and ticketing information can be found on Levity’s website.

4. Blue Collar Trivia


A new weekly trivia night, hosted by Hub of the Hammer, is kicking off this Saturday night at 8 p.m. at the Blue Collar Pub on the east mountain. Trivia topics will pretty much cover everything under the sun and prizes from Collective Arts are up for grabs. For more information on this new weekly outing, visit the Hub of the Hammer website.

3. September Art Crawl
This Friday night is Art Crawl on James North. Starting at 5 p.m. walk one of Hamilton’s favourite downtown avenues to soak up the art, shops, galleries, bars and restaurants in the Hamilton Arts District. The Art Crawl happens every second Friday of each month starting at 5.
