Hamilton is home to the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, the Bruce Trail, McMaster University and several colleges. The Canadian Football Hall of Fame can be found downtown right beside Hamilton City Hall and across town in the east the Canadian Football League's Hamilton Tiger-Cats play at Ivor Wynne Stadium. Partly because of its diverse locations, numerous TV and film productions have been filmed in Hamilton regulated by the Hamilton Film Liaison Office. A growing arts and culture sector had garnered media attention in a 2006 Globe and Mail news article, entitled "Go West, Young Artist," focused on the growing art scene in Hamilton. The article highlighted local art galleries, recording studios and independent film production. 

HAMILTON Chocolate Ball - Inaugural Gala

This year's event will bring the glitz and glamour reminiscent of old Hollywood as we present a 25-piece big band orchestra along with special guest singers and performers including swing dancers, ballroom dancers, and more.

A throwback to the glitz and glamour of Madison Avenue in New York to Hollywood with music and dance trends of the era will make for a magical night. You can come in period dress and vie for the best dressed adaptation prize.
