Hamilton throws a wild party as Montreal and Winnipeg battle for the Grey Cup

The 110th Grey Cup kicked off in Hamilton at 6 p.m., and features the Montreal Alouettes and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Bombers aim to capture their third Grey Cup in four years.

It's been a wild week in Hamilton and visitors will know one thing for sure — Hamilton knows how to throw a party.

And tonight, Anne Lowry will have the noisiest neighbour in the city, living steps away from Tim Hortons Field.

She loves it.

"You don't move to this neighbourhood without knowing this is going to happen," she said while holding her seven-month-old son as music and horns blared in the background.

Trish Jacobs, a season ticket holder, says she's excited to feel the atmosphere and hear the fans roar.

"It's a big party and a great community event," she said.

Jonathon Noel and over 20 family members came from Montreal to watch the game and one particular player — his cousin, Alouettes defensive back Marc-Antoine Dequoy.

"He's worked hard all his life and we're all behind him," Noel said.

For the Bombers, Sunday night is their fourth consecutive title game and if they win, it'll be their 13th championship in franchise history.

Grey Cup festivities took over Hamilton in the days leading up to the game, with thousands of football fans coming in from  across Canada to watch.

Hamilton's Grey Cup celebrations included a holiday for high school and elementary students, a naval escort bringing the Grey Cup into town, a free breakfast for fans courtesy of the Calgary Grey Cup committee, as well as a beer garden, food trucks, inflatables, a Christmas market, giveaways, games and more.

Grey Cup events took over James Street N., all week.

There was plenty of music alongside the football fun including the SiriusXM Kickoff Party with Hamilton
