King William West Fest is a one-day outdoor marketplace celebrating local artists and musicians! The event is solely organized by Margaret Qin, a 4th-year Human Behaviour student.

A young adult artists market showcasing the vibrant creativity of Hamilton’s under-25 makers. From handmade jewelry, crochet, pins, and prints to interactive experiences like henna, live portraits, and tarot, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Every piece tells a story—crafted with care, rooted in community, and powered by passion. Come support the next generation of artists, celebrate handmade talent, and leave not just with something beautiful, but with a memory to cherish.

Enjoy the last summer weekend on King William with creative vendors, live music, and so much more!

This event is proudly supported by the City of Hamilton and the Downtown Hamilton BIA.
