Hamilton East Heritage Day Festival
Hamilton East will be celebrating its rich and colourful history on the 25th of February. The Hamilton East Heritage Day Festival is being held on Steele Park from 10.00am to 3.00pm.

The Hamilton East Community Trust organise the event, and this is the first time it has been held since the passing of Lois Livingstone.
It will be a great day on the middle of Steele Park, which as Sydney Square was regarded as the “cradle of Hamilton” It is a free community event, and people are encouraged to bring a picnic or get something to eat at the various food vendors available.
