Street party deemed to be toned down this year; Hamilton police made no arrests this yearRoughly 10,000 people were in attendance to McMaster University's unsanctioned homecoming street party this year, an event held annually on Dalewood Avenue. As in 2024, the City of Hamilton obtained a court-ordered injunction targeting those who violated the nuisance party bylaw. Dalewood residents seem to agree that the street party was also quieter this year but still express frustration with the party overall. Third-year student Tanay Parikh told the Silhouette that fewer students may have attended the street party due to increased interest in the concert and football game. The MSU also shared that it has received positive feedback from community partners — including the City of Hamilton, Hamilton Police, campus security, and university officials — on the impact of their on-campus Homecoming events.
