The Rockton World’s Fair is where rural and urban meet up for a good old Thanksgiving weekend of family and friends. 

Join us Thanksgiving 2025!  As we enter our 173rd Fair, we will be Honouring our past – Celebrating our future!  Come celebrate our old-time fair traditions with us.

Do you have items you don’t need anymore, but they’re still in good shape? Don’t throw them out—give them away! Someone else might love them.  On Curbside Giveaway Days, you can place reusable items at the end of your driveway or beside the sidewalk for others to take, for free!

How it works
Put your gently used items at the curb between 7 am and 5 pm
Make sure to clearly label them as Free using the printable sign (PDF) or one you make yourself
Remove any unclaimed items after the event at 5 pm (Items left at the curb may result in a fine)

The Ball’s Falls Thanksgiving Festival has been a Niagara tradition since 1974! 

Gather your family and friends and head to Ball’s Falls Conservation Area this Thanksgiving – there is something for everyone!

Shop from over 150 vendors in the bustling craft and artisan market, treat yourself to delicious foods, sample some of the best local craft beers and wines, and listen to amazing live music on the main stage. For the kids, there is endless entertainment and fun – including free face-painting and crafts, magic shows, and live bird-of-prey shows presented by the Canadian Raptor Conservancy. 

The whole family will enjoy exploring the 1800's heritage village, featuring one of Ontario’s oldest operating gristmills, and heading out on a guided nature hike to take in the bright fall foliage and check out Niagara's Escarpment geology with the Niagara Geopark.

Don’t miss your last chance to visit the Historic Kitchen Garden before it closes for the year.

Drop by to enjoy the fall colours and pick up a free savoury herb bundle to use for your Thanksgiving celebrations.

While supplies last.
