Things to do in Hamilton this weekend

There's plenty to do in Hamilton this weekend as thousands of runners stream into Hamilton for the famous Around the Bay Road Race.

Here's just some of the great events happening in the city this weekend.

SATURDAY

Hecuba

Redeemer University College's production of the Greek tragedy Hecuba finishes its run Saturday with shows at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

In the show, the battle for Troy has been fought and the armies of Agamemnon are returning to their homeland with their captives. Among them is a chorus of Trojan women, including the queen of Troy, Hecuba.

Hecuba has lost everything to a pointless war. But is the war actually over? What truly brings violence to an end?

Hecuba's story has become an archetype for suffering, and the Greek tragedy still speaks to the disbelief, despair and denunciation of those left to carry on after war.

Spring Home and Garden Show

Renovating? Need some decor ideas? Then check out the Spring Home and Garden show at The Canadian Warplane Heritage museum this weekend. See hundreds of exhibitors in a show so big that it takes two airplane hangers to house the whole thing.

Shari Vandermolen with Swingline

SwingLine is an inspired group of musicians hailing from the greater Hamilton and Toronto area bringing you big band standards and some soulful R&B to round things off. SwingLine gives you that big-band sound you've been missing. The show at the Pearl Company starts at 8 p.m.

SUNDAY

121st Around the Bay Road Race

The oldest running road race in North American is back on Sunday with athletes running from around the world. Come cheer them on, and to anyone who is running, good luck!

Maple Syrup Festival

You can watch how maple syrup travelled from tree to the table in three different time periods: the methods of Canada's First Nations, 19th century pioneers and modern times. They say you can even buy a pancake breakfast.

Dave Rave at the Coach and Lantern

Dave Rave is fresh off a new CD with his band the Governors called Sweet American Music. He's channelling classic power pop here, and he'll be at The Coach and Lantern in Ancaster for a matinee show at 2:30 p.m.
