Ball's Falls Thanksgiving Festival 50th Anniversary

The Ball’s Falls Thanksgiving Festival is a Niagara tradition, and this year, NPCA is excited to celebrate 50 years of heritage, culture and memories by making the 2024 festival bigger and better than ever!

Gather your family and friends and head to Ball’s Falls Conservation Area this Thanksgiving – there is something for everyone!

For the kids, there is endless entertainment and fun – including free face-painting, mini-train rides, and live birds-of-prey shows. For the adults, shop from over 150 vendors in the bustling craft and artisan market, treat yourself to delicious foods, sample some of the best local craft beers and wines, and listen to amazing live music on the main stage.

The whole family will enjoy exploring the 1800's heritage village, featuring one of Ontario’s oldest operating gristmills, and heading out on a guided nature hike to take in the bright fall foliage.
