49th Annual Dundas Cactus Festival takes place this weekend

First Published:

The streets of Dundas will be filled with food, fun and music as the 49th Annual Dundas Festival takes over.

Emily Vukovic was in Dundas to get just a little taste of what you can experience this weekend, rain or shine all around town. Local businesses will have street displays set up, there is plenty of food, a festival patio adjacent to the Mainstage, as well as bouts from your favourite Hamilton Pro Wrestlers.

Learn all about the history of Dundas and the origins of Cactus Fest and see Vintage Fire Trucks, or bring your favourite teddy bear to a picnic. No matter your age, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The Dundas Cactus Festival takes place today from 6-10:30pm, tomorrow from 10am-10:30pm and Sunday from 11am-4pm.
