Jurassic Kingdom is a must-see family edutainment attraction — an exciting and educational Jurassic walk-through experience designed for visitors of all ages.
Featuring over 50 impressive life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, the event brings the prehistoric world to life. Each dinosaur includes robotic moving parts such as moving heads, breathing bodies, swaying arms and tails, blinking eyes and jaws that open wide with realistic roaring sound effects — creating a truly immersive walk-through adventure.
This visually spectacular experience is as educational as it is entertaining, making it the perfect day out for children and adults alike. Follow the winding trail through grasslands and woodland paths where snarling, roaring, and hissing dinosaurs await around every corner.
Beyond the dinosaur trail, families can enjoy a range of additional attractions, including street food and drink stalls, merchandise stall, face painting station, giant trampoline and bouncy castle, and a fossil dig pit, where younger visitors can play at being mini palaeontologists.----------
Jurassic Kingdom - Royaume Jurassique est une attraction familiale incontournable mêlant divertissement et apprentissage — une expérience immersive sur le thème du Jurassique, conçue pour les visiteurs de tous âges. Présentant plus de 50 impressionnants dinosaures animatroniques grandeur nature, l’événement donne vie au monde préhistorique. Chaque dinosaure est doté de pièces mobiles robotiques, telles que des têtes en mouvement, des corps qui respirent, des bras et des queues qui se balancent, des yeux qui clignent et des mâchoires qui s’ouvrent largement avec des effets sonores de rugissements réalistes — créant une aventure immersive unique.
Cette expérience visuellement spectaculaire est aussi éducative que amusante, en faisant une sortie idéale pour les enfants comme pour les adultes. Suivez le sentier sinueux à travers prairies et zones boisées, où des dinosaures grognants, rugissants et sifflants vous attendent à chaque détour.
Au-delà du parcours des dinosaures, les familles peuvent profiter d’une variété d’attractions supplémentaires, notamment des stands de nourriture et de boissons, une boutique de souvenirs, un atelier de maquillage pour enfants, un trampoline géant et un château gonflable, ainsi qu’un bac de fouilles fossilifères où les plus jeunes peuvent jouer aux mini-paléontologues.

Music Niagara proudly welcomes the acclaimed piano trio FortVio for their Music Niagara debut, celebrating their 20th anniversary season with a captivating and imaginative program.
Comprised of Indrė Baikštytė (piano), Ingrida Rupaitė (violin), and Povilas Jacunskas (cello), FortVio has earned international recognition for their vivid, expressive performances and distinctive artistic voice. Laureates of the Government’s Culture and Art Award of the Republic of Lithuania, the trio is celebrated for its ability to blend technical brilliance with spontaneity, depth, and a uniquely theatrical sense of storytelling.
Their program, “Between Music and Theatre,” explores the fascinating intersection of music and the dramatic arts—featuring works inspired by theatre, film, and visual art. The evening will include a rich and engaging selection of repertoire by Haydn, Schubert, Rebecca Clarke, Astor Piazzolla, alongside compelling works by Faustas Latenas, and other Lithuanian composers, creating a dynamic journey across styles, eras, and artistic influences.
Since their formation in 2006, FortVio has quickly risen to international prominence, winning top prizes at major competitions including the International Johannes Brahms Competition in Austria and the Stasys Vainiūnas Competition in Lithuania. They have performed extensively across Europe and beyond, and are members of the European Chamber Music Academy (ECMA).
Described as “an ensemble like a theatre group gathered under mysterious laws of nature,” FortVio brings an engaging, almost cinematic quality to their performances—where music unfolds with drama, colour, and emotional intensity.
Experience this extraordinary ensemble in an unforgettable evening of chamber music, where sound, story, and imagination come together in the beautiful setting of historic Niagara-on-the-Lake.
With heartfelt gratitude to Jeanne Jennings, our Season Sponsor, whose continued generosity and support—and whose family’s legacy—mean so much to Music Niagara.

An Evening of Gypsy Jazz with Club Django Toronto
Pops Series | August 13 – 7:00 PM
Back by popular demand, Music Niagara welcomes Club Django Toronto for another exhilarating evening beneath the beautiful Music Niagara Festival Tent at Ironwood Cider House.
Inspired by the legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt, Gypsy jazz—also known as jazz manouche—combines the expressive traditions of Romani guitar with the infectious swing of 1930s Parisian jazz. Reinhardt’s revolutionary style, made famous through the Quintette du Hot Club de France with violinist Stéphane Grappelli, continues to inspire musicians and audiences around the world.
For more than 25 years, Club Django Toronto has been a leading voice for Gypsy swing in Canada and remains Toronto’s longest-running ensemble dedicated to this electrifying style. The group has earned national recognition, including a National Jazz Award nomination for Best Acoustic Group and the Canadian Collectors Congress Award for Album of the Year.
With dazzling guitar work, soaring violin melodies, and irresistible swing rhythms, Club Django Toronto delivers a performance that is both musically thrilling and wonderfully entertaining.
Guests are invited to arrive early at 5:00 PM to enjoy food options available for purchase, along with Ironwood’s signature cider and wine, before the concert begins at 7:00 PM.
A magical summer evening of Gypsy swing, virtuosic musicianship, and timeless jazz—live at Music Niagara.

Memory Lane: A Tribute to Elliott Smith

Join Saulteaux/Métis educator and memory activist Sam Howden and settler scholar and artist Andrew Lochhead on a guided walk, bringing the idea of Land Acknowledgements out of the Bata Shoe Museum’s walls and onto the Land itself, in the area currently known as The Annex.
Land acknowledgements can be powerful. At their best, they affirm belonging, recognize ongoing injustices, and help build meaningful relationships between people and the more-than-human world around us. But as these practices become more institutionalized, they can risk feeling routine—words spoken without deeper action toward Indigenous sovereignty or true settler–Indigenous conciliation.
Together, we’ll follow the paths of buried streams, discover native plant species and traditional medicines, observe urban wildlife, and explore layers of local history and architecture. Along the way, we’ll reflect on walking as a form of witnessing—and consider the social and political complexities of moving through treaty Land, especially when the treaties that govern it have so often been broken.
This is an invitation to slow down, listen closely, and think differently about our relationship to the Land beneath our feet.
The walk will take up to two hours, please wear comfortable shoes.
Please review our Terms and Conditions in advance and check in with Visitor Services upon arrival. Questions? Email us info@batashoemuseum.ca anytime.
 
About the Facilitators
Sam Howden, MSW, BSW, RSW (they/them) is an Indigenous social worker and educator. 
Their scholarly work focuses on autoethnographic approaches to storytelling in the context of student memory activism at what is now called Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). Specifically their thesis project focussed on efforts to address the commemoration of Egerton Ryerson, that would lead to the removal of the Ryerson statue on campus, and the subsequent decision to rename the university. Sam’s practice in both academics and social work is guided by a deep connection to Land, and principles of humility, service, and relational accountability informed by their experiences as a traditional helper in lodge and ceremony. 
Sam is of mixed European and Indigenous ancestry. Their relations on their father’s side are Red River Métis (Soto/Saulteaux), belonging to the family names Gladu and Dease. Their father also has mixed European ancestry from the British Isles (Howden) and Eastern Europe (Olynick/Bileski). Their mother was adopted and raised in a French Canadian family, and later found that their biological parents belonged to Dutch (Borsboom), French, and English (Henri) ancestry. 
Sam currently works as a contract lecturer at TMU in the Department of Social Work, and maintains a private therapy practice.
Andrew Lochhead, is an artist and scholar who uses walking as a form of creative practice and research to bring to life stories about the city in ways that orient audiences toward imagining justice-based futures. A lifelong museum and gallery professional, Andrew has been an outspoken advocate for understanding how monuments, place names, and other forms of commemoration shape people’s relationships to places and to each other. His work as part of the public history campaign around the name of Dundas Street has contributed to significant changes to Toronto’s toponymic landscape, the development of new commemorative policy, and ongoing conversations about who or what Canada’s largest city remembers. Andrew’s research and activism has been featured in a number of documentary films and programs, including the BAFTA Award winning Scotland, Slavery, and Statues. His PhD dissertation explores the role of walking in interpreting urban heritage landscapes.
Sam and Andrew have previously collaborated on walking projects such as Reclaiming and Renaming: Indigenous Placemaking at X University, that investigated the relationship between the built and natural environment of TMU’s campus. They also appeared together in the 2023 CityTV program What’s In a Name? that explored contemporary debates about place names in Toronto and beyond.

Since most of the music in "Fire and Frost" is mostly orchestral and we lack the space for a live orchestra, the concert will be split into two parts: first, a screening of 12 short films produced as visual accompaniment to select pieces from the album (like non-lyrical music videos), followed by an hour long set of live music performed by Kai and his band (Josie Smith, Curran McConnell, and Julia DeMarchi). Bring your Fire and bring your Frost! (The dress code is Fire and Frost, if you wish to dress up).
The name of the headlining artist is Kai Korven. He will be accompanied by his backup vocalist, bassist, and drummer.

Sam The Living:You’re baking cookies when the oven timer goes off. You reach in too fast, the oven mitt slipping short of your wrist, and burn yourself on the rack. The tray tilts, the cookies fall, and your favourite baking dish shatters on the kitchen floor. Andy Shauf - or maybe Paul Simon or Ray LaMontagne - is playing in the background, and despite the sting, you can’t help but laugh at how bitter a moment can be. Sam the Living lives inside that feeling. The self-proclaimed sad prince of the prairies, now based in Toronto, Sam is an eclectic singer-songwriter who turns small domestic disasters and dissociative episodes into thoughtful, affecting songs. Blending seventies soft rock with contemporary indie folk, his ethereal, brooding voice carries stories of almost-love, hunger, heartache, and absurd reflection, lifted by rich harmonies that would earn the approval of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. As melancholic as it is playful, Sam’s music invites listeners to sit with the mess, hum through the sting, and notice how even the smallest wounds can open us to the tenderest truths.
@samtheliving
Grace Clark:Growing up in Yellowknife, on the edge of the arctic circle, Métis artist Grace Clark draws inspiration from nature and seasons in the north, creating a dynamic Indie Pop sound. Grace’s sweet melodies and passionate lyrics build a delicate, enticing world reflecting on love, loss, and the world around her.Her latest release, 'Chicago', talks about feeling out of place in a new city, after moving from Yellowknife to Montreal to pursue her studies in music. Grace released her first single ‘Untouchable’ in June of 2020, with Yellowknife producer David Dowe, followed by a live EP recorded in British Columbia and released in June of 2021. Grace’s voice is what drives her the most, and you will surely see this growing artist paving her own path in the music industry.
@graceclarkmusicAngela Begin:Based between Montreal & Edmonton, canadian alternative/indie-folk singer-songwriter and radio host Angela Begin creates music reflective of the lands, winds, waters and skies that raised her. Her songs are inspired by the natural world and the themes of spaciousness, temporality and transformation. Angela's music is an ethereal and eclectic blend of indie-folk and alternative-rock with detours into grunge, country and shoegaze.

Simar is fearless. She writes, sings, and composes in Punjabi and English without compromise. She blends genres (Punjabi, R&B, hip-hop, pop, trap) into something that has never existed before. She centers her own narrative in an industry built on male storytelling. She's redefining what Punjabi music can be.
Billo is Simar's declaration. It's her sonic vision. It's her culture. It's her voice.
Join us to celebrate an artist who is opening new creative pathways and reshaping an entire genre on her own terms.
