From Detroit, take highways 401 and 403 to Hamilton, Ontario, and join the QEW toward Niagara. You can take the QEW to Highway 55 if you like, but we usually recommend the Niagara Parkway instead. It takes a little longer, especially in the busy summer months, but it's a beautiful drive - down the Niagara River gorge, past orchards and vineyards, right to the door of our Festival Theatre. Connecting these two towns is the Niagara Parkway, a spectacular drive along the Niagara River that features many historic sites and other attractions . We are also located midway between two great cities, Toronto and Buffalo.
Several wineries offer guided tours and wine-tastings.
Plaques and markers commemorating important historical events can be found throughout the region. The nearby village of Queenston also boasts several historic buildings. Once the industrial lifeline of the Niagara region, it continues to provide the only link for international shipping between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. Visit the Welland Canals Centre and Museum or the picturesque harbourfront in Port Dalhousie. There are several private galleries in our area as well.
