not much is happening up in Upper Canada in the summer....
So the locals will find anything to entertain themselves.
Besides, Niagara-on-the-Lake is known for it's arts and theatre and wineries.
"Experience what life was like on the Niagara Frontier during the time when the border was being shaped. Step back in history and join the troops from Canada and the United States as they gather to celebrate 190 years of peace and brotherhood."
That's not gloryfying war but bringing together countries in the spirit of truth and freedom. Let the wine flow!
