Art Crawl is back on and so too are scheduled road closures on James Street N.

The City of Hamilton says the downtown road will be closed to vehicles from York Boulevard to Murray Street E., between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. Friday as artists and vendors line the road to show and sell their wares. 

Art Crawl is scheduled on the second Friday of every month from May to October, Tourism Hamilton says on its website.

Pedestrian-only Art Crawls started in 2023. At the time, Coun. Cameron Kroetsch (Ward 2) said the experience would be safer for attendees.
