ABOUT LIUNA STATION
Before becoming one of Hamilton’s most iconic venues, LIUNA Station was a bustling CN Rail hub, the last of its kind built in a neoclassical style in Canada. Opened 93 years ago in 1931, it has hosted royalty, including Queen Elizabeth II, and served thousands of travelers. After its closure in the late 80s, LIUNA transformed the abandoned station into a stunning event space, preserving its historic charm while incorporating modern luxuries. Today, from its brass and copper accents to its Italian marble floors, LIUNA Station continues to offer a setting that’s as rich in history as it is in elegance.
