What’s open and closed Easter Weekend in Hamilton

Published April 8, 2020 at 1:13 pm

Easter Weekend in 2021 is Good Friday (April 2), Easter Sunday (April 4) and Easter Monday (April 5).

Almost everything that is closed Friday is closed Sunday.

This year, many things that are typically open will be closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Because Hamilton is in the grey/lockdown zone of the province’s colour-coded framework, private indoor gatherings are not permitted.

Restaurants will still not be permitted to offer indoor dine-in service, but some might be open for takeout and delivery.
