September brings a special kind of energy to Niagara Falls!

The warm days of summer linger, the first signs of autumn begin to appear across the Region, and a packed calendar of festivals, entertainment and special events gives you plenty of reasons to reserve a Niagara Falls getaway.

It’s also a great time to experience both sides of Niagara. From enjoying a day surrounded by the energy of the Falls and top attractions, to venturing into Niagara’s award-winning wine country for tours and tastings as harvest season gets underway. Add incredible dining, evening fireworks and accommodations at one of Niagara’s best hotels overlooking Niagara Falls, and September has all the ingredients for a memorable escape.

From salsa dancing beside the Falls to hundreds of supercars and one of Niagara’s signature harvest celebrations, here are some of the events worth planning a September getaway around.

Feel the Rhythm at Salsa at Niagara Falls

September 12–13, 2026 | Queen Victoria Park

Niagara Falls gets a Latin beat this September as Salsa at Niagara Falls transforms Queen Victoria Park into a vibrant celebration just steps from the Falls.

The two-day festival brings together live music, world-class dance performances, authentic Latin cuisine, vendor markets and immersive cultural experiences. Two stages and multiple dance areas will keep the park moving throughout the weekend, creating an energetic atmosphere in one of Niagara Falls’ most spectacular settings.

Stay into the evening when each night concludes with a 10:00 p.m. fireworks display choreographed to salsa music.

With Niagara Falls as the backdrop, it promises to be one of September’s most unique nights out and an easy centrepiece for a couples getaway or weekend away with friends.

See 200+ Supercars at Niagara 5000

September 18, 2026 | Fallsview Casino Resort & Niagara Parkway

Some of the world’s most impressive cars are coming to Niagara Falls for Niagara 5000, and you don’t need a ticket to experience two of the event’s biggest spectacles of the festival.

From 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the FREE Exotic Car Show at Fallsview Casino Resort will showcase more than 200 supercars, offering an up-close look at an extraordinary collection of high-performance and luxury vehicles.

Then, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., the action moves to the Niagara Parkway for the free Supercar Parade. More than 200 vehicles are expected to travel along the route in front of Niagara Falls, creating a scene you won’t see on an ordinary trip to Niagara.

Both events are FREE and open to all-ages, with no ticket required, making September 18th an especially exciting day to be in the Fallsview district.

Experience Misty City Music Festival

September 18–20, 2026 | Fallsview Event Grounds

Country music takes over the Fallsview district as Misty City Music Festival returns for its second year, bringing three days of live music, food, drinks and festival energy to Niagara Falls.

This year’s lineup features major country artists including Brooks & Dunn, Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Lonestar and Jake Owen, alongside a full weekend of performances at the Fallsview Event Grounds.

Located in the heart of the Fallsview district, the festival makes it easy to pair a day of live music with everything else Niagara Falls has to offer. Marriott on the Falls is located directly across the street from the festival grounds, making it an especially convenient home base for the weekend.

With Niagara 5000 also taking place on September 18, it’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting September weekends in Niagara Falls.

Celebrate Harvest Season at the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival

September 25–27, 2026 | St. Catharines

Few experiences say autumn in Niagara quite like harvest season.

The Niagara Grape & Wine Festival returns in September, celebrating the wineries, food and traditions that have helped make Niagara one of Canada’s best-known wine regions.

From September 24–27, Montebello Park becomes the centre of the celebration with free admission to the main festival, creating an ideal opportunity to pair time in wine country with a stay overlooking Niagara Falls.

One of the weekend’s signature traditions is the Grande Parade, which takes over downtown St. Catharines on Saturday, September 26 at 11:00 a.m. with colourful floats, marching bands, dancers and more than 1,500 performers.

Spend part of your getaway discovering Niagara’s wine country and harvest celebrations before returning to Niagara Falls for dinner, nightlife and an illuminated view of the Falls.

End the Evening With Fireworks Over Niagara Falls

Nightly at 10pm through October 12th, 2026

You don’t have to plan your September getaway around a festival weekend to experience something memorable.

The Niagara Falls Fireworks Series continues nightly throughout September, with displays beginning at 10:00 p.m. The 2026 nightly series runs from May 15 through October 12, weather permitting.

Before the fireworks begin, watch Niagara Falls transform after dark during the nightly illumination. In September, the Falls begin lighting up at 7:00 p.m. through September 19 and 6:30 p.m. beginning September 20.

It’s an unforgettable way to finish an autumn evening in Niagara Falls. Explore the destination during the day, enjoy dinner overlooking the Falls and make your way outside for the nightly show.

Make a September Escape to Niagara Falls

September sits at the crossroads of two seasons in Niagara Falls. There’s still plenty of summer energy in the destination, but harvest celebrations, wine country and the first hints of autumn are beginning to take centre stage.

Dance beside the Falls at Salsa at Niagara Falls, see hundreds of exotic cars during Niagara 5000, experience harvest season at the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival or simply plan a few days away to enjoy great dining, spectacular views and fireworks over Niagara Falls.

Make NiagaraFallsHotels.com your starting point and stay close to the experiences that make a September getaway special. Choose from some of Niagara Falls’ premier Fallsview hotels, including Sheraton Fallsview, Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa, Marriott on the Falls and The Brock Niagara Falls-Fallsview, and turn an event into an autumn escape.

Niagara Falls may be known around the world as a leisure destination, but it is just as well suited to bringing people together for meetings, conferences and events.

The same qualities that make Niagara Falls such a memorable place to visit — iconic views, walkability, dining, attractions and entertainment — also make it a compelling destination for corporate groups. Attendees can spend the day in meetings and still step outside the agenda into an experience that feels distinctly Niagara.

A Destination Built for Meetings and Conferences

When considering Niagara Falls for a meeting or conference, visit NiagaraMeetings.com to explore hotels, meeting and function space in the heart of Niagara Falls. Sheraton Fallsview, Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa, Marriott on the Falls and The Brock Niagara Falls-Fallsview, Tapestry Collection by Hilton each offer flexible meeting venues to act as a blank canvas for your event.

Across the collection, planners can access approximately 200,000 square feet of event space, 50 meeting rooms and close to 2,000 guestrooms and suites.

That range of Niagara Falls meeting space makes it possible to accommodate everything from executive meetings and corporate retreats to multi-day conferences, receptions and large-scale events.

Meeting Space With More Around It

Choosing the right meeting venues in Niagara Falls is about more than square footage.

Here, guestrooms, conference space, dining, entertainment and group experiences can all become part of the same program. A day of presentations can lead into a private dinner, reception, team-building activity or evening exploring the destination.

For planners, that creates more ways to build connection into the agenda. For delegates, it creates a business trip that feels like more than time spent in a conference room.

The Best of Both Sides of Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls does not have to choose between being a leisure destination and a meetings destination. That duality is part of its appeal.

The city delivers the infrastructure and professional meeting facilities planners need, while offering delegates the restaurants, attractions, entertainment and unforgettable setting they would choose to experience on their own time.

It also gives attendees the opportunity to extend a conference stay into a personal getaway or bring more of the destination into their business trip.

Plan Your Next Meeting in Niagara Falls

Whether you are organizing a conference, corporate retreat, incentive program, executive meeting or special event, Niagara Falls offers the space, accommodations and experiences to bring it together.

For more information visit NiagaraMeetings.com to discover hotels, Niagara Falls meeting space, event venues and planning options for your next gathering in one of Canada’s most recognized destinations.

Few race courses can compete with the sound, scenery and energy of running alongside one of the world’s most famous natural wonders.  On Sunday, October 25, 2026, the Niagara Falls Marathon returns, bringing runners and spectators together for a memorable fall weekend in Niagara Falls.

Dating back to 1974, the Niagara Falls Marathon has become a signature event on the region’s running calendar. For 2026, the Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K will take place entirely within Canada, giving participants a course that combines the excitement of the Fallsview district with beautiful stretches along the Niagara Parkway and Niagara River.

A Race Course With an Unforgettable View

The 10K, Half Marathon and Marathon begin on Fallsview Boulevard between Murray Street and Robinson Street. From the start, runners head through the heart of the Fallsview district before making their way toward Niagara Falls.

One of the highlights comes early in the race. Runners approach the American Falls before turning onto the Niagara Parkway, where the Canadian Horseshoe Falls comes into view. From there, the course continues alongside the Niagara River, taking participants through some of the destination’s most scenic surroundings before returning toward the finish.

The finish line will be located on Stanley Avenue directly in front of the Niagara Falls Convention Centre, creating a lively finish area where friends, family and fellow runners can celebrate the accomplishment together. The Niagara Falls Marathon is also a Boston Marathon qualifying event.

Niagara Falls Marathon Race Weekend Details

Race weekend begins before runners reach the starting line. The Niagara Falls Convention Centre will serve as a central hub for the weekend, hosting the Race Expo and race kit pickup before becoming the finish-line area on race day.

Race kit pickup is scheduled for Friday, October 23 from 1:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m. and Saturday, October 24 from 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. in Hall A of the Niagara Falls Convention Centre. There will be no race-day bib pickup, so participants should plan their arrival accordingly.

On Sunday morning, the 10K is scheduled to start at 7:30 a.m., followed by the Half Marathon and Marathon at 8:15 a.m. Participants should continue to check the official Niagara Falls Marathon website for the latest race-day information, transportation details and any schedule updates.

Cheer on the Runners

You don’t have to be racing to enjoy Niagara Falls Marathon weekend.

With the course travelling through the Fallsview district and along the Niagara Parkway, spectators can experience the excitement of race morning while enjoying one of Niagara Falls’ most picturesque times of year. Cheer on family and friends, watch athletes make their way through the course, and then meet them near the Niagara Falls Convention Centre as they cross the finish line.

With restaurants, attractions and some of Niagara Falls’ best-known sights nearby, it’s also easy to turn race weekend into a fall getaway for the entire family.

Reserve Your Stay for Niagara Falls Marathon Weekend

Whether you’re running 10 kilometres, taking on the full marathon or travelling to Niagara Falls to support someone at the starting line, staying close to the action can make race weekend considerably easier. Some of the best hotels in Niagara Falls are a short distance from the route.

Niagara Falls Marriott on the Falls is particularly convenient for participants. The hotel is directly across the street from the Niagara Falls Convention Centre, where runners will pick up their race kits on Friday or Saturday and where the race finishes on Sunday.

Reserve your Niagara Falls hotel stay and make the most of marathon weekend—from race kit pickup to the finish-line celebration and everything in between.

Make a Weekend of It

Once the running shoes come off, Niagara Falls offers plenty of ways to celebrate. Take in the Falls, enjoy dinner overlooking the Falls, explore local attractions or simply relax after race day.

For runners, supporters and spectators alike, the Niagara Falls Marathon is an opportunity to experience the destination from an entirely different perspective—one kilometre, one cheer and one incredible view at a time.

September is harvest season in Niagara, and there may be no better way to experience it than at the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival.

Returning throughout September 2026, the festival celebrates the region’s winemaking heritage with winery experiences, local food, live entertainment, family-friendly events and one of Niagara’s most anticipated fall traditions. From self-guided tastings at wineries across the region to a full weekend of festivities at Montebello Park, there are plenty of reasons to add the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival to a getaway at one of Niagara Falls best hotels in September.

Explore Niagara Wine Country With A Discovery Pass

The celebration begins with the Grape & Wine Discovery Pass, available over three September weekends: September 4–6, 11–13 and 18–20.

More than 25 participating Niagara wineries will offer specially selected wines paired with seasonal dishes, giving visitors a chance to experience harvest season through the flavours of the region. The self-guided format makes it easy to create your own route and explore up to six wineries with a Discovery Pass. Mini, Driver’s and Flex Friday passes are also available.

It’s an ideal way to discover new wineries, revisit favourites and experience the diversity of Niagara wine country at one of its most exciting times of year.

Grape & Wine Takes Over Montebello Park

The celebration comes together for one big finale from September 24–27 at Montebello Park in downtown St. Catharines.

The historic park transforms into a lively wine and culinary village with more than 100 Niagara VQA wines, food from local chefs and over 25 hours of live music throughout the weekend. Admission to Montebello Park is free Friday through Sunday.

Festival weekend begins Thursday evening with Montebello Rocks!, a ticketed concert headlined by Canadian rock band Sloan on September 24. The celebration then continues Friday, Saturday and Sunday with wine, food, music and special experiences throughout the park.

Experience A Niagara Fall Tradition

One of the weekend’s signature events returns on Saturday, September 26 at 11:00am, when the 74th Grape & Wine Grande Parade makes its way through downtown St. Catharines.

Marching bands, colourful floats, dancers and more than 1,500 performers fill the streets in a celebration of Niagara’s harvest season and community. The event has become a favourite annual tradition for both visitors and local families.

The family-friendly festivities continue at Montebello Park on Saturday and Sunday with the TELUS Family Fun Zone, featuring inflatables, face painting, crafts and activities for children.

On Sunday, September 27, kids can take part in the Pied Piper Parade before the Mayor’s Invitational Grape Stomp brings some classic harvest-season fun to the park.

Turn The Festival Into A Niagara Getaway

The Niagara Grape & Wine Festival is also a great reason to experience more of the region this September.

Make Niagara Falls your home base and pair a day in wine country with everything the Falls have to offer. Spend the morning exploring the destination, head into Niagara wine country for tastings and festival events, then return for Fallsview dining, attractions and an evening overlooking one of the world’s most famous natural wonders.

With Discovery Pass experiences running across three weekends and the signature Montebello Park celebration closing out the month, you can build a Niagara getaway around the part of the festival that suits you best.

From intimate ceremonies to grand receptions, it’s a distinctive option for couples planning a Niagara Falls wedding.

With flexible venues, thoughtful hospitality and the destination right outside the door, The Brock gives couples the opportunity to create more than a wedding day—it can become an entire Niagara Falls wedding experience.

Today, the newly reimagined hotel combines that heritage with contemporary guestrooms, elegant event spaces and modern amenities, creating a setting that feels both timeless and fresh.

Its location also makes it especially appealing for couples planning a wedding in Niagara Falls. Guests can stay, celebrate and experience the destination without spending the weekend travelling between venues.

Wedding Venues For Every Style Of Celebration

No two weddings are exactly alike, and The Brock offers a variety of spaces to suit different guest counts, styles and wedding plans.

For larger receptions, the Grand Ballroom provides an impressive setting for dinner, dancing and celebration. The Niagara Room offers a versatile option for ceremonies, dinners and cocktail receptions.

More intimate spaces, including the Brock Room, Rainbow Salon and Elizabeth Room, offer elegant alternatives for smaller weddings, private gatherings and other wedding events.

Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony with your closest family and friends or a grand ballroom reception, The Brock’s wedding team can help create a setting that reflects your vision.

Is The Brock The Right Niagara Falls Wedding Venue For You?

If you’re beginning to explore wedding venues in Niagara Falls, The Brock is well worth adding to your list.

It offers the character of a historic Niagara Falls hotel with the comfort and style of a newly reimagined property, plus flexible wedding spaces, onsite accommodations, customizable dining and one of the world’s most iconic destinations just outside the door.

Most importantly, it gives couples the opportunity to create a celebration that goes beyond the ceremony and reception—bringing friends and family together for an unforgettable stay in Niagara Falls.

Make Niagara Falls Part Of Your Wedding

Few wedding destinations offer a backdrop as recognizable as Niagara Falls.

The Brock is located just steps from the Falls, putting couples close to some of Niagara’s most beautiful locations for wedding photography. Niagara Falls, Queen Victoria Park, Oakes Garden Theatre, surrounding gardens and historic architecture all offer memorable possibilities for wedding-day photos.

Once the formal celebrations are over, your guests can experience the destination for themselves—exploring attractions, dining, entertainment and the Falls throughout their stay.

It’s one of the reasons a Niagara Falls wedding can feel like so much more than a single event.

A Wedding Dining Designed For Your Celebration

Great food is one of the details guests remember long after the wedding day.

The Brock’s culinary team can create wedding menus suited to the style of your celebration, from elegant plated dinners and receptions to cocktail-style gatherings and late-night selections.

Customizable menus also make it possible to accommodate dietary requirements, cultural traditions and personal preferences, helping couples create a dining experience that feels as thoughtfully considered as the rest of the celebration.

When the reception ends, your accommodations are already waiting.

Hosting your wedding at The Brock makes it easy for couples and guests to stay together under one roof. The hotel features newly reimagined guestrooms and suites, many with spectacular views of Niagara Falls.

There’s no need for guests staying at the hotel to arrange transportation after the celebration, and having everyone nearby creates more opportunities to spend time together throughout the wedding weekend.

For couples welcoming family and friends from outside Niagara Falls, that convenience can make the entire experience feel easier and more connected.

Turn Your Wedding Into A Niagara Falls Getaway

One of the biggest advantages of choosing a hotel wedding venue is the opportunity to make more of the occasion.

A wedding at The Brock can begin well before the ceremony and continue after the final dance. Welcome dinners, rehearsal celebrations and morning-after brunches give friends and family more time together, particularly when guests are travelling to Niagara Falls for the occasion.

Couples can also add special pre-wedding experiences, including a bridal shower or High Tea in The Brock’s Fallsview Tea Room, creating another memorable opportunity to celebrate together while overlooking Niagara Falls.

Instead of gathering for a single evening, your wedding can become an entire weekend of shared experiences.

This October, Niagara Falls is going dark, as in all things macabre and spine chilling.

A Fall tradition, Frightmare in the Falls returns October 23–25, 2026, bringing three days of horror, pop culture and fandom to the Niagara Falls Convention Centre. With more than 100,000 square feet of celebrities, exhibitors, panels, photo opportunities, workshops and attractions, it is a full weekend for anyone who likes their entertainment with a little edge.

And there is plenty more to see than the celebrity guest lineup.

Get Up Close with Horror History

One of the highlights of this year’s Frightmare in the Falls is the Boris Karloff Tribute Pop-Up Museum, celebrating one of classic horror’s most recognizable stars. It is a chance to take a look back at the legacy of an actor whose work helped define early horror cinema.

Then there are a few vehicles that horror fans will instantly recognize.

Christine, the iconic 1958 Plymouth Fury from Stephen King’s horror classic, will be on display for photo opportunities. Also featured is a screen-used Halloween station wagon, bringing another piece of horror movie history to the convention floor.

And for fans of a different kind of supernatural adventure, Supernatural’s 1967 Chevrolet Impala, “Baby,” will also be featured.

Explore the Convention Floor

If you’re the type who can spend hours browsing for the perfect horror collectible, make sure you leave plenty of time for the exhibitors.

Frightmare brings together 150+ vendors and artists, with everything from collectibles and artwork to memorabilia, toys, comics and other horror and pop culture finds. There are also panels, workshops and screenings happening throughout the weekend.

It’s the kind of event where you can arrive with one thing on your shopping list and leave with something you didn’t even know you needed.

Bring Your Camera

Frightmare is made for photo opportunities.

Along with the featured vehicles and exhibits, the event offers professional photo ops with celebrity guests, giving fans the chance to capture a memorable moment with stars from some of horror and genre entertainment’s biggest titles.

The 2026 guest lineup includes appearances from stars of The Walking Dead, Terrifier 2 & 3, Fright Night, Child’s Play and Leprechaun Returns, among others.

Make It a Niagara Falls Halloween Weekend

Frightmare in the Falls takes place at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre, making it easy to turn your convention visit into a full weekend in Niagara Falls.

Once you’ve had your fill of horror, there is plenty more waiting outside the convention centre. Explore Clifton Hill, take in the Falls, find a new favourite restaurant or check out some of Niagara Falls’ many attractions before heading back for another day of Frightmare.

Staying overnight also means you can take your time exploring the convention instead of trying to fit everything into a single day. To make the most of your visit, reserve a stay at Marriott on the Falls, which is directly across the street from the Niagara Falls Convention Centre, and is the closest hotel to the three-day event.

Plan Your Visit to Frightmare in the Falls

Frightmare in the Falls takes place October 23–25, 2026, at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre at 6815 Stanley Avenue.

Why Book A Niagara Falls Waterpark Hotel Package?

A Niagara Falls Waterpark Hotel Package makes summer planning simple. Instead of booking a Hotel and then figuring out how to keep the kids entertained, the fun is already built into the stay.

Each Waterpark Package includes:

• One night hotel accommodations at your choice of Falls Avenue Resort Hotels
• Four “Two-day” Fallsview Indoor Waterpark Passes (valid from 1 pm on day of arrival until 3 pm on following day)
• Early Access to the Waterpark on select dates, Exclusive to Hotel Waterpark Package Guests!

Families can splash, slide, swim, relax, and recharge all in one destination. The Waterpark delivers the excitement kids want, while the hotel stay gives parents convenience, comfort, and easy access to the attractions, dining, and energy of Falls Avenue Resort.

It is more than a room. It is the start of a full summer adventure.

What Makes Fallsview Indoor Waterpark A Must-Visit Family Attraction?

Fallsview Indoor Waterpark is one of the most exciting family attractions in Niagara Falls, especially during summer break. The 125,000-square-foot waterpark is packed with ways to play, including high-energy slides, family-friendly splash zones, and places to relax between adventures.

Kids can race toward the next waterslide, jump into the giant indoor wave pool, or wait for the Beach House Rain Fortress tipping bucket to come crashing down. Parents can enjoy the convenience of an indoor waterpark experience with the added bonus of an outdoor activity pool and sundeck for those warm summer days.

Rain or shine, the fun keeps going.
