Hamilton: SUPERCRAWL 2013

Supercrawl

For those not familiar with the event, Supercrawl is basically a gigantic street party/arts festival that's been held every September since 2009 on James Street North in downtown Hamilton. From the 3000 people who attended the first one in 2009, it exploded to 80, 000 people in 2012 and is expected to top 100, 000 this year. The photos that I took during the day were probably about half that amount of people. By the time the nighttime came, it was nearly impossible to move along the street from King to Barton (a few km's).

Anyway, photos:

I often feel like Hamilton's renaissance started just after I moved away.

I attended my first Supercrawl on Saturday and loved it. It was an amazing and friendly atmosphere. Not only did I see some really superior art, but I also saw the Diamond Rings give a dynamic and energetic performance to a very appreciative audience. James Street North has come a long way and has become one of Canada's more interesting and genuine streets. I will definitely attend next year. Thanks Hamilton!

Thanks for your pics from Hamilton, matt602.

I didn´t know anything about the Supercrawl. Now I know it´s a very interesting street party and arts festival. I´d like a lot to go to one Supercrawl.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

^And don't forget the more low-key art crawls which take place the second Friday of every month during the spring and summer!

Awesome. Wish I could have checked it out, but at least I got to visit a few weeks ago.
