The Nashville Takeover - Niagara Falls (November 6-8)

Niagara Falls Canada Has Been Selected for a Nashville Takeover

November 6–8, 2026

ALL VENUES ARE INTIMATE INDOOR SPACES

For one unforgettable weekend, Niagara Falls will transform into the closest thing to Nashville outside of Tennessee.

The Nashville Takeover is a three-day, city-wide experience that brings together multiple iconic hotels, restaurants, theatres, and unique spaces to create an immersive celebration of songwriting, storytelling, and authentic Nashville culture. This is not a traditional music festival. It is a takeover.

Rather than gathering thousands of people around a single stage, The Nashville Takeover will activate venues throughout the Fallsview Entertainment District, creating intimate songwriter performances just steps from one another. Guests move through the city discovering incredible music while supporting local businesses and experiencing Niagara Falls in an entirely new way.

After the tremendous success of The Nashville Takeover across communities throughout Canada, Niagara Falls has been selected as one of our premier destinations thanks to its world-class entertainment district, iconic venues, breathtaking scenery, and walkable downtown core.

From November 6–8, more than 40 surprise songwriters and artists from Nashville and Canada will perform throughout Niagara Falls at venues including the Niagara Falls Convention Theatre, STK, Marriott Fallsview, Margaritaville, Wildflower Social.

Every artist remains a surprise until they step on stage.

The lineup is intentionally unreleased because this weekend is about discovery, not hype. Many of the artists have written songs for major recording artists, accumulated millions of streams, and are among the most exciting emerging talents in Nashville and Canada. This is a rare opportunity to experience them in intimate settings before they become tomorrow's household names.

What to Expect

Friday | The Kickoff

Your weekend begins with registration before the city comes alive with simultaneous Opening Showcases across multiple venues. Choose your reserved venue and experience an unforgettable songwriter round before the night continues with the Official After Party, where artists from across the entire weekend come together for a late-night collaborative jam.

Saturday | The Full Experience

Saturday is when Niagara Falls truly transforms.

Sunday | The Finale

Sunday features an upbeat classic honky tonk band for the first half of the day, then the weekend concludes with a special End of Season Celebration, where artists, crew, volunteers, partners, and guests come together to celebrate the biggest Nashville Takeover season in our history. Enjoy complimentary beer and light appetizers (until it runs out) before one final full-band open jam brings the 2026 season to an unforgettable close.
