The Nashville Takeover

Nashville is taking over Niagara Falls for a three-day, city-wide, musical celebration. With over thirty surprise artists from Nashville and Canada performing at select venues across the city in this multivenue takeover. No headliners, no nosebleed seats; just intimate shows, social events, and late-night after parties in restaurants, bars, theatres, and other unique spaces throughout the Falls. All venues are indoor spaces and all unreleased performances feature authentic songwriters about to become household names. 

What you need to know:

Friday, November 6th
Kick off your weekend with registration, followed by simultaneous Opening Showcases lighting up venues across the city. Pick your reserved spot to experience an incredible songwriter round, then keep the energy going at the Official After Party, featuring a late-night collaborative jam with artists from the entire weekend lineup.

Saturday, November 7th
Niagara Falls completely transforms into a hub of live music. VIPs start the day with Songs & Mimosas before simultaneous afternoon and evening songwriter showcases light up theaters, restaurants, hotels, and unique venues across the city. Between sets, you can explore the Fallsview district, grab dinner, meet the artists, shop exclusive merchandise at the pop-up shop, and cap off the night at another epic Official After Party.

Sunday, November 8th
End the weekend with an upbeat, classic honky-tonk band driving the first half of the day before the weekend wraps up with a massive End of Season Celebration. This special finale brings together artists, crew, volunteers, partners, and guests to toast the biggest Nashville Takeover season in history. Arrive early to enjoy free beer and light appetizers (while supplies last) before one final, full-band open jam brings the 2026 season to an unforgettable close.

Nashville may be taking over, but make sure not to miss out on iconic Niagara Falls experiences before and after this unique music festival. Take a stroll through Queen Victoria Park, catching more than just a glimpse of the roaring Canadian Horseshoe and American Falls. Get an elevated few from the Niagara SkyWheel, the 175 foot observation wheel that gives you panoramic views of the infamous Falls, city's streetscape and nightlife.   

Please note: Advance reservations are required for key parts of the weekend, including the Friday Opening Showcase and both the Saturday afternoon and evening showcases. This system lets you choose the perfect atmosphere for your weekend while keeping venues comfortable and ensuring an exceptional experience for everyone. Other events—including select VIP perks, the after-parties, registration, and all Sunday programming—do not require venue reservations, as detailed in the official schedule heading to your email inbox soon.
