Fall Festival

The Hamilton Fall Festival line-up of participating brick and mortar businesses and booths lining Railroad Avenue has now been confirmed, and with a total of 55 participating businesses, it's one of the most exciting events on the calendar. The festival takes place in Hamilton on Railroad Avenue. Last year, with support from the Hamilton Development Corporation and a grant from the Massachusetts Office of Business Development, over 1,500 people attended the festival. This year's turnout is expected to be smaller but just as enjoyable. There are plenty of special attractions and activities that will be taking place alongside the booths and open businesses.
