The Vibe Hamilton - Oct 31st - Nov 6th
Discover the unexpected – celebrate the pulse of the city
🔨 Things to do in Hamilton - October 31st - November 6th
Hello Neighbours!
Welcome to the very first issue of The Vibe Hamilton!
In each edition, sent every Thursday, you'll find the latest events, fun things to do and places to go in and around The Hammer, some you might never have heard about before.
The Vibe is about what makes this such a special place to live and enjoy together! That means we will focus on things to do rather than politics or things that divide us.
I hope you decide to stick around as we build this and please bring along a friend or neighbour with you. And I appreciate your grace when you come across any typos. As they say “Progress not perfection!” ~ Paul - ❤️
👻 P.S. Please take extra care tonight as the little ghouls and goblins are out collecting candy - Safe Trick or Treating Everyone!
🎃 Parents (or big kids!) if you are looking for the best decorated houses in The Hammer check out the Active Parent Map - click here
