Acoustic music in the heart of the Expo.
Step into our second vendor hall and discover our Campfire Music Sessions, an intimate campfire-inspired setting designed to feel like you’re sharing songs with friends under a starry sky.
Cozy, warm, and full of character, the Campfire Music Sessions bring the spirit of cottage nights and backcountry evenings right into the Hamilton Adventure Expo.
Throughout the day, enjoy live acoustic performances from talented local musicians. Whether you’re taking a break from exploring the show or settling in for the full set, these sessions offer a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that captures the heart of outdoor culture.
Come pull up a seat, soak in the music, and experience the simple joy of gathering around the “campfire” together.
In 2026, the campfire stage featured Paitra, Alex Mason, Bad Science & Benny Douglas.
2027: Marshall Veroni, Alex Mason + more TBA
Raised in Owen Sound, Marshall Veroni writes warm, honest folk songs about love, loss and the human condition. His EP If You Are a Road has passed 100,000 streams, his song “We Met” was featured on Netflix’s Spinning Out, and he’s toured Canada opening for Blue Rodeo, Ariel Posen and Field Guide. He’s also a published poet, and his newest single is “Cross Your Mind.”
Alex Mason grew up in rural Ontario, toured the country and co-wrote in Nashville before settling in Toronto. His rich baritone and reflective lyrics blend folk with alt-rock, most recently on the albums Ghost of the Great Lakes (2022) and Breaking the Blue Sky (2025). A favourite on our 2026 campfire stage, he’s back for 2027.
More local musicians will be announced soon. Get lineup updates so you don’t miss them.
