As you enjoy the festivals, Hamilton Police Service would like to remind all attendees of the following safety tips:

  • Keep Your Belongings Secure: Safeguard your valuable items like smartphones, jewelry, and wallets by keeping them out of sight. This simple step ensures you can fully enjoy the event without worry.
  • Share the Fun with Friends and Family: Attending festivals and fairs with a group of friends or family members not only enhances your experience but also boosts safety. There’s strength in numbers, and it’s always more enjoyable together!
  • Stay Mindful and Trust Your Instincts: Enjoy the fun atmosphere while staying aware of your surroundings. Trust your instincts—if something doesn’t feel right, event security or the police are there to help.

We encourage everyone to enjoy these festivals responsibly and to look out for one another. By following these simple safety tips, we can all contribute to a safer and more enjoyable experience for all.
