Niagara Grape & Wine Festival Location Map
Taylor Barber at Kelseys Niagara Friday, September 11, Niagara Falls. A patio live-music set, an easy pairing with dinner if you're staying over ahead of the wine weekend. Set time and cover were not listed.
Niagara Magic Live Niagara Falls, recurring show. This one is genuinely unclear on the source page. No confirmed date, time, or ticket price for this week's performance, so confirm directly before planning around it.

Local Insider Tips
Discovery Pass: price and winery list aren't published yet, confirm both before you commit to a route.
Bring a neutral snack between stops, plain crackers or a small loaf of bread. It resets your palate between wineries so the fourth stop doesn't just taste like the third one.
Kelseys patio show: reserve ahead if you want a table with the music, patio seating goes first.
Niagara Magic Live: showtime and ticket price for this week are not confirmed, call or check online before you build an evening around it.
Farmers markets: pick your town first, then check its specific market day. They don't all run the same day.
