For one unforgettable weekend, Niagara Falls is getting a little taste of Nashville featuring the excitement of incredible musicians and live music. 
From November 6–8, 2026, The Nashville Takeover is bringing more than 30 surprise artists from Nashville and Canada to venues across Niagara Falls for three days of live music, songwriter showcases, social events and late-night parties.
This isn’t your typical music festival, it is a musical takeover. Instead of one massive stage, performances will pop up in intimate venues throughout the city, giving music fans the chance to get closer to the artists, hear the stories behind the songs and discover who is performing as the weekend unfolds.
With surprise artists, you won’t know who you’ll see performing until they step onto the stage—and that’s all part of the experience!
One Weekend. 30+ Artists. Niagara Falls.
The Nashville Takeover will transform Niagara Falls into a weekend-long celebration of music, food and nightlife.
Among the participating venues are Marriott Fallsview Hotel & Spa, Marriott on the Falls and Lucky’s Restaurant & Bar, putting plenty of the action right in the heart of the Fallsview district.
Grab a drink, find your next favourite artist and move from venue to venue as Nashville-inspired energy takes over the city. Additional locations throughout Niagara Falls will also be joining the weekend, creating even more opportunities to catch a performance and experience a different side of the destination.
