The Hamilton Textile District located on Ottawa Street is the largest fabric and textile district in Canada and also Hamilton's top tourist destination. Every year, the district is transformed when it hosts the annual Ottawa Street Streetfest which offers incredible shopping deals, foods, crafts and entertainment. Visitors to the area can expect to find countless shops and stores offering the latest in textiles and fabric designs. For the Tim Horton's fans, the Hamilton Textile District was home to the very first Tim Horton's Coffee Shop - "Store #1" - which still serves up coffee  and donuts on Ottawa Street today.

This is a wonderful day trip with beautiful fabrics and antiques. However, do NOT use the map and google directions on the side bar. They will take you to Upper Ottawa Street, a suburban area which will end at the brow of the escarpment. It takes another 20 minutes through downtown traffic to get to Ottawa Street which is where you want to be. This was a very frustrating experience to an otherwise great day.
