Summer Crawl on Ottawa is coming June 20.

Spend the day exploring Ottawa Street’s incredible thrift shops and local businesses while discovering unique finds from visiting vintage and thrift vendors who will be setting up booths along the street for the event.

Whether you’re hunting for retro treasures, vintage fashion, collectibles, or one-of-a-kind pieces, Summer Crawl on Ottawa is the perfect excuse to spend the day exploring one of Hamilton’s most unique shopping districts.

Then, as the sun goes down, join us for a free outdoor screening of The Goonies starting at 9 PM.

Location: Municipal Parking Lot C, 11 Britannia Avenue.

Summer Crawl on Ottawa brings together vintage shopping, local businesses, community, and a classic movie under the stars for one unforgettable day and night.

A special thank you to our event sponsors, The Drop Spot East and Foster Living Realty, for helping make this event possible.

Bring a lawn chair, bring some friends, and make a night of it.
