We are excited to invite you to this one-of-a-kind initiative that has never been done by another Canada Games host before — the 13 For 13 Cultural Festival!

Held on select evenings between August 7-20 2022, this festival event will see each of Niagara’s 13 municipalities collaborate with one of Canada’s 13 provinces and territories to showcase the unique cultural heritage, entertainment, art, and culinary experiences of each pairing during their assigned special night (see schedule and pairings below). As we continue to emerge from what has been challenging times, the Niagara Host Society is excited to provide an opportunity for Canadians to come together in celebration of what makes this country so special.

The Niagara Region’s 13 For 13 Festival will be a true celebration of the Niagara Region and all of Ontario! The event will include live performances by Splash n boots, Deanne Petcoff, Scott Hellman, and many more. There will be local vendors, food trucks, farmers market, and kids programming for guests of all ages to enjoy.  All happening at Niagara Place, Canada Games Park in Thorold.
