NOSH has always been a platform to showcase the talent and creativity of local chefs and restaurateurs. With the challenges posed by the pandemic, the return of NOSH in 2024 takes on added significance in supporting the recovery of the local hospitality industry. The event provides a much-needed boost to restaurants and food vendors, allowing them to connect with the community and showcase their resilience and innovation.
“I think Hamiltonians should support local as much as they can, not only during NOSH, but year-round.
