Summer in Niagara

The NSO presents Summer in Niagara: your soundtrack to rediscovery! 

The NSO is proud to be partnering with local businesses, restaurants and parks throughout the Niagara Region as we bring free pop-up performances to new communities each week.

These are not formal concerts – there is no entry fee, no ‘start time’, and we are casually dressed for the summer weather, just like you! So come as you are and listen for as long as you like while you rediscover all that your communities have to offer.

We are continually adding new dates, so follow us on social media or check back here to discover when we will be performing near you.

Rest assured that our top priorities are your safety and comfort. Here is how we are playing it safe for you and our musicians:

  • Limiting ensemble sizes to 6 or fewer musicians
  • Limiting audience sizes to within public health guidelines
  • Performing outdoors whenever possible

The NSO Summer in Niagara series is proudly supported by the Niagara Region and City of St. Catharines.
