Niagara-on-the-Lake's Labour Day long weekend 2026 runs Friday, September 4 through Monday, September 7, with 18 events across 7 venues and prices ranging from $30 to $39. There's something on every single day of the long weekend — from amphitheatre concerts and harvest parties on Friday to live music at The Irish Harp Pub right through the holiday Monday itself.
Here's a day-by-day breakdown of everything happening in Niagara-on-the-Lake for the Labour Day weekend.
Friday, September 4 — Opening Night Energy
Friday is the busiest day of the weekend, with seven events kicking things off across five venues.
Wine & Afternoon Starts
- FRESH Fridays | Half-Price Wine by the Glass + Flights gets the weekend started early at 11:00 a.m. — a relaxed pour-and-flight afternoon (price not listed).
- At 4:30 p.m., Friday Night Pints at Niagara College Teaching Winery offers a more casual pint-and-music vibe.
- Nicole Cerminara takes the stage at Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery at 5:00 p.m.
Harvest Party Kick-Off
At 6:30 p.m., Bella Terra Vineyards hosts the 2026 Harvest Party Friday Kick-Off, the weekend's only ticketed event with a confirmed price of $30. A second listing, Harvest Party Kick-off!, is also listed at the same venue and time — check the venue's site for specifics on what's included.
Evening Concerts & Live Music
- Alan Doyle headlines at the Jackson-Triggs Amphitheatre Concert Series at 8:00 p.m. — the amphitheatre's outdoor setting makes this a signature Friday-night draw.
- Over at The Irish Harp Pub, The Feverish Lemons take the stage at 8:30 p.m.
Saturday, September 5 — Concerts & Pub Nights
Saturday carries two evening events, both with later starts.
- Big Wreck plays the Jackson-Triggs Amphitheatre Concert Series at 8:00 p.m., making it the second straight night of amphitheatre concerts.
- Patsy & The Muscle provide the live soundtrack at The Irish Harp Pub at 8:30 p.m.
Saturday's lineup is leaner than Friday's, but the amphitheatre show is a major draw — if you're planning around it, arrive early to settle in.
Sunday, September 6 — Brunch, Run, & History
Sunday spreads across the full day with six events at five venues, from a 10:00 a.m. run club to late pub music.
Morning
- Sunday Run Club at Palatine Hills Estate Winery starts at 10:00 a.m. — a fitness-forward way to open the day.
- At 11:00 a.m., Bella Terra Vineyards hosts the Vineyard Rave & Brunch at $39, the weekend's top-priced ticket. A companion listing, Vineyard Brunch Dance Party!, is listed at the same venue and time.
Afternoon
- Mike & Tara perform at Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery at 12:30 p.m.
- At 3:00 p.m., the Historical Walking Tour at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum (Niagara Historical Society) offers a grounded cultural break from the wine-and-music circuit.
Evening
- The O'Deadlys close out Sunday at The Irish Harp Pub at 8:30 p.m.
Monday, September 7 — Labour Day Itself
The holiday Monday has three events, all live music and all at venues that keep the weekend going through the actual holiday.
- Nick & Serena at Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery at 12:30 p.m. — a relaxed afternoon performance for the holiday crowd.
- The Shalalas play The Irish Harp Pub at 2:00 p.m., an earlier-than-usual start for a matinee-style show.
- Grass Mud Horse wrap up the long weekend at The Irish Harp Pub at 7:30 p.m.
Monday is lighter on volume but still delivers a full arc from early afternoon to evening, making it a worthy cap to the weekend rather than a quiet wind-down.
