It's Showtime in Niagara

Get Even Closer To The Music At One Of Canada’s Top Small Venues

Don’t let the small number of seats at Niagara Falls’ OLG Stage fool you. This intimate 5,000-seat venue attracts some big-name acts, and guests have the added bonus of never being more than 150 feet away from the action!. Past big performances include Randy Houser, 98 Degrees, The Black Crowes, The Killers, Train, Babyface, Cole Swindell, Kool & The Gang and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Have Some Music With Your Wine

See for yourself why catching a concert at the Jackson-Triggs Amphitheatre has become a cherished summer tradition for so many. On the other side of Niagara wine country, Redstone Estate Winery also hosts some standout performances in a summer concert series.

Join The Fun of Niagara’s Growing Music Festival Scene

Born and Raised Concert Series landed Niagara on the radar of music festival fans, and this year is delivering fantastic concert collabs. The Misty City Music Festival brings together a collection of amazing country and rock artists. There will also be lots of local food and craft beverage vendors serving up a fun festival vibe on the Fallsview Event Grounds in Niagara Falls. September’s Grape & Wine Festival offers phenomenal live music at Montebello Park and music fans will appreciate Port Dalhousie's Cicada Music and Arts Festival, a popular two-day festival in October.

Find Your Way To Free Live Music

Niagara’s event organizers know that music makes everything better and inject community events and festivals with lots of free, live performances. Weekly summer Supper Markets in Port Dalhousie, Thorold, Pelham, Welland, and Crystal Beach invite guests to snack on food truck fare and sip beverages from local craft producers to a soundtrack of live local music. Port Colborne’s Community Concert Series fills the city’s waterfront with live music from talented tribute bands on several nights throughout the summer. Canal Days Marine Heritage Festival treats guests to free concerts at H.H. Knoll Lakeview Park in Port Colborne throughout the August long weekend. Local craft breweries, including Niagara Brewing Company, Merchant Ale House, Decew Falls Brewing Company, Taps Brewhouse, Oast House Brewers, and Newark Brewing, regularly offer live music.

Discover Some Perfect Live Arts Pairings

An afternoon or evening concert offers arts enthusiasts an ideal opportunity to spend a few hours before or after the show taking in Niagara’s many other cultural attractions, including heritage sites and museums, galleries, studios, and arts centres. Strolling Niagara’s signature shopping districts, like Jordan Village, Ridgeway, Port Colborne, and Niagara-on-the-Lake, to browse at local shops is a fun way to discover the work of local artisans and craftspeople.
