The Ontario government is investing $1.5 million to support hosting the 55th Annual JUNO Awards.
The 2026 JUNO Week runs from March 26 to March 29 at the newly renovated Hamilton Arena, and supports local businesses, jobs and increased international tourism to Hamilton and the surrounding region.
“Ontario’s music industry is an important economic driver, contributing hundreds of millions in revenue and boosting cultural tourism in communities across the province,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming.
“Our government is proud to support the 2026 JUNOS in Hamilton. Now, more than ever, it’s important to celebrate the very best of our homegrown musical talent and boost Canadian culture during this critical time.”
The annual JUNO Awards are produced by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (CARAS) to recognize Canadian achievements in music and include a weeklong series of themed events.
This is the seventh time Hamilton has hosted the JUNO Awards.
