Christmas in Gore Park

Join the Downtown Hamilton BIA, in partnership with Corus Entertainment and the City of Hamilton, to witness the transformation of Gore Park as it lights up to mark the start of the holiday season. Visitors can enjoy a family-friendly winter wonderland, including decorations, live music, aerialists, pictures with Santa and princesses, a Ferris wheel, and live musical performance from the Salvation Army Mountain Citadel Brass Band—all for free!

The free amusement ride will continue in Gore Park from December 1 to December 10, running from 12 pm to 8 pm daily.

The annual Children’s Fund Christmas Tree of Hope, founded in 1976, aims to bring hope to children and families struggling through the holiday season and has been a source of festive joy ever since.

Note: operation of this Ferris wheel is weather dependent and there is a minimum height restriction of 48″ (4 feet). Single riders are not permitted. All passengers must fit comfortably within the lap bar passenger restraint safety devices. Loading is directed by the device Operator to maintain a “balanced load” for proper operational function of the ride cycle.
