Extended CactusFest Hours!

CactusFest finally makes its full return this year, starting with the parade Thursday, August 18th, beginning at 7 pm.

The Dundas Museum and Archives will be open for extended hours this weekend to give lots of opportunities to incorporate a visit into your CactusFest festivities. The Museum will be open Saturday, August 20th and Sunday, August 21st, from 10 am-4 pm. Why not stop in to see our Dundas175: What Dundas Means to Me feature exhibition?

The DMA will also have a table set up outside the Dundas Fire Hall, where you can visit and climb aboard antique firetrucks (courtesy of the Hamilton District Fire Museum), including our own 1961 Thibault Pumper! We’ll have $5 Firetruck Family Fun kits, including a plastic hat and badge, a historical colouring book, and crayons! We’ll also have information about the origin of CactusFest and a “Guess the Spines” cactus contest. Visit our table to learn more!

Our staff and volunteers will be at Memorial Square Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm, and Sunday from 11 am-4 pm. Stop by to say “hello”!
