Timeline
17:51
Walk through the Hamilton AAA Grounds to stretch your legs and clear your head before the main event. It is a quiet park on Charlton Avenue West, just a short stroll from the gallery.
18:21
Arrive at Pier 4 Park. This beach and boardwalk area faces the water. Find a spot on the boardwalk to watch the sun dip below the horizon toward the WSW. The golden light from 17:57 will be fading into the blue hour.
19:06
Walk up to Bayfront Park. The grass amphitheater offers a slightly higher vantage point to see the city lights coming on. It is a pleasant transition from the pier to the next stop.
19:36
Dinner at Hutch's. This famous local institution is right near the park. Order the fish and chips, widely considered the best in town, and enjoy the scenic view while you eat.
20:36
End the night with a drink at Le Tambour Tavern. It is a pub just a short walk from your dinner spot, open until late. It is a good place to unwind after the evening out.
Local tip
The walk from Pier 4 to Bayfront Park is about 15 minutes. Hutch's is very close to Bayfront Park, making it an easy dinner stop. Le Tambour Tavern is also near Bayfront Park, keeping the evening walk short and easy.
