Gate opens at 6:30 pm; festivities run from 7 pm to 9:30 pm
Dearest Gentle Reader,
Your invitation to the social event of the season has arrived.
Step through the gates of Fort George and into an evening of Regency-inspired revelry, where history meets high society — and where a little mischief is not only permitted but encouraged.
This isn't a performance—it's your invitation to the party.
Learn the dances, mingle with fellow members of the ton, try your luck at period games, strike your best pose with an original portrait of Queen Charlotte, sip a themed cocktail, and embrace as much (or as little) Regency mischief as you please. Whether you arrive dressed to dazzle or simply ready for a memorable night out with friends, you'll be part of the evening from the moment you step through the gates.
After all, Sir Isaac Brock once described Niagara-on-the-Lake as “the nest of all wickedness.” Who are we to argue?

Whether you arrive by carriage or through the gates with your closest companions, this is one evening of the season you will not want to miss.
Tickets for this 19+ event are limited and must be purchased online in advance. There will be no walk-in admission available. Parking is included.

And naturally, Her Majesty is never wrong.
