Built in a style reflective of the Canadian City Beautiful movement of the 1920s, Gage Park is one of Hamilton’s most iconic, historical, and cultural landscapes. Gage Park has outstanding gardens, a historical fountain, a tropical greenhouse, wide open spaces, and a large selection of trees. Since 1976, the 30-hectare park has hosted the annual Festival of Friends, one of Canada's largest free music and art events.
