Get ready for a weekend of supercars, aviation and unforgettable experiences as Niagara 5000 returns to Niagara September 18–19, 2026.
Launched in 2024, Niagara 5000 has quickly grown into one of Canada’s premier automotive and aviation showcases. Following a 2025 event that welcomed more than 10,000 attendees and 230+ supercars, the 2026 edition brings together exceptional automobiles, private aircraft, food and wine, fashion, design and entertainment across two days in Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake.
See 200+ Supercars In Niagara Falls At The FREE Exotics Festival
The action begins on Friday, September 18 at Fallsview Casino & Resort, where more than 200 of the world’s finest supercars will be on display during the Exotic Car Show at Fallsview from 11:00am–3:00pm.
The show is FREE, all-ages and is open to the public, giving visitors the chance to get an up-close look at an impressive collection of exotic vehicles in the heart of Niagara Falls. A Backyard BBQ will also run at Fallsview Casino & Resort during the afternoon. Make a weekend of it by reserving one of Niagara Falls best hotels.
Watch The Supercar Parade In Front Of Niagara Falls
At 3:00pm, 200+ cars take to one of the most recognizable roads in Canada for the Niagara 5000 Supercar Parade.
Presented in partnership with the Niagara Parks Commission, the parade will bring the supercars in front of Niagara Falls, led by Grand Marshal Melanie Villeneuve, daughter of Canadian Formula 1 legend Gilles Villeneuve. Spectators can line the route and watch the procession from 3:00–5:00pm, with no ticket required.
This year’s parade will also celebrate car-club culture, the 100th anniversary of the Maserati Trident and the 35th anniversary of The Guild of Automotive Restorers.
For registered participants, Friday continues with a scenic supercar cruise to Niagara-on-the-Lake followed by the La Dolce Vita Tasting at Reif Estate Winery, featuring a wine and culinary tasting experience.
Cars Meet Aviation At The Hangar Experience
Niagara 5000 continues on Saturday, September 19 with The Hangar Experience at Niagara District Airport from 1:00–5:00pm.
The 19+ ticketed event transforms the active airport into a showcase of automotive, aviation and luxury experiences. Guests can explore aircraft, supercars, yachts, motorcycles and specialty displays alongside wineries, restaurants, fashion shows, shopping experiences, simulators, live entertainment and more. Autocross and high-speed runs with professional drivers are also part of the afternoon.
The experience will include dedicated Made in Italy and Made in Canada sections, as well as the Villeneuve Stage and Screen and a feature conversation about Villeneuve: The Rise of the Champion.
End The Weekend With A Masquerade
The weekend concludes Saturday night with the Masquerade Party, Niagara 5000’s official closing celebration.
Inspired by the Carnival of Venice, the 19+ event combines Italian-inspired food and drinks with music, dancing, masquerade décor and views of the fireworks over Niagara Falls from STK Fallsview.
Driving Change For McMaster Children’s Hospital
Niagara 5000 is about more than extraordinary cars and experiences. Supporting McMaster Children’s Hospital and MacKids is central to the event, with Niagara 5000 setting a goal of raising more than $30,000 in 2026.
In 2025, Niagara 5000 contributed 65% of its profits to MacKids through Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation. The organization continues to use event proceeds, partnerships and fundraising initiatives to support pediatric care while bringing the automotive community together in Niagara.
