Arts in the Park 2020 - February 22nd
Enjoy a summer's lazy day at Norris Ward Park right in the middle of Hamilton (opposite Hamilton Girls High). Meet local artists and craftspeople, try tasty treats, have a go at one of our mini art classes, henna tattoos, art therapy sandtrays, or our popular "Paint Pours". If that is too strenuous, consider eating ice cream under big leafy trees and listening to free music and entertainment while the kids get their faces painted and play on the bouncy castle. 9am until 2pm.

Lest we forget...
On this ANZAC Day, let's take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country.
Tell us who are you honouring today. Whether it's a story from the battlefield or a memory of a family member who fought in the war, we'd love you to share your stories below.
Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?
A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.
It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
