Small Town, Big Celebration
Inniskillin
30 June 2011
NOTL’s history makes it the perfect location for a grand Canada Day party.
Canada Day in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Fife and Drum Corps make their way down Queen Street last Canada Day before the annual Cake Parade to Simcoe Park.
Before Niagara-on-the-Lake was the quaint heritage tourist town it is known as today, it was once called Newark and served as the first capital of Upper Canada.
Over the years, it has played in an important role in the development of our country so it’s only fitting that on July 1 - Canada’s birthday - the little town throws a big celebration.

Many of the wineries around town will be celebrating in their own way as well. Inniskillin, for instance, will have four days of fun in celebration of Canada Day. Visitors will be invited to wave their flag on the piazza, turning it into a sea of red and white, as they sip on wine and enjoy some of the culinary offerings including s’mores on Canada Day, cupcakes, and pulled beef sliders. There will also be a basketball court set up amongst the vineyard, allowing people to shoot some hoops on July 1. Frisbees and a soccer area will also be set up. The winery will also feature fireworks at 9:30 on July 1, amidst the silhouette of the vineyards.
