My band is taking on the entire Can't Buy a Thrill album on Halloween at Warehouse Concert Hall (Geneva St, St Catharines) would be great to see you 😊

We are looking to have a 12-15 person party catered in Niagara Falls (house with kitchen). Drop off preferred.

Any local suggestions would be appreciated!

Niagara Parks is looking for volunteers for its community tree planting day this Saturday, October 24, at Legends on the Niagara. Runs from 10am to noon, and they provide the trees, tools and instructions. It’s free, but you do need to register beforehand. Good opportunity for anyone interested in local conservation.

Looking for a company who can either repair a deteriorating set of precast concrete steps that lead up to door entrance or a company / supplier that has them available new for purchase. Appreciate any leads / suggestions.

Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, so there are two full weekends of stuff. I went through every Niagara town and pulled the best of it into one guide with an interactive map.

A few that stood out:

• 🍷 A costume dance in Henry of Pelham's underground barrel cellar (Oct 24)
• 🔪 Frightmare in the Falls, where the first actor to play Jason hosts the 19+ after-party (Oct 23–25)
• 🏮 Lantern tours at Old Fort Erie that end with a Guy Fawkes effigy burning (Oct 23 and 30)
• 🍬 Five free trick-or-treat events for kids, including a puppy costume parade in Thorold (Oct 24)

Heads up: Fort George's ghost tours have been sold out since Oct 4.

last minute … but we’re not getting responses from the tours we’ve reached out to …

hoping to find a tour, or at least a driver(s) for an afternoon for 2 ppl this coming Saturday. Starting and ending at our NOTL hotel.

Formal tour is fine, like I said we’re just not having luck. So we’re happy to piece together our own itinerary, just hoping to find a better option than Bering everywhere.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Hey everyone! I run InfaWeb, a web design business based in Ontario. I work remotely with business owners who need a new website or want to improve an existing one.

If you run a business in Niagara, I’d be happy to help you create a website that makes your services, location, hours, and contact information easy to find, especially for customers browsing on their phones.

I typically custom-code my projects to fit each business’s design and functionality needs. Whether you need a landing page or a full business website, we can discuss what suits your needs. Hosting and ongoing maintenance are available too.

Send me a message with a little about your business and what you’re looking for, and we can talk through the scope and a quote :)

You can see my work at infawebdesign.com.

A great opportunity to check out some places you might not otherwise get to see!

I am living out of province (and currently visiting family in Niagara) but I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Dettweiler's sausages! I know I can find them at the St. Jacob's market but I don't want to drive that far. I used to be able to find them at Harvest Barn in Virgil, but they closed down. They also used to be at MB Foods (and then Value-Mart) in Virgil, but Independent Grocer (who took over) doesn't sell them (according to my dad who can't find them locally).

I know I can buy online, but I won't get them soon enough before we leave. I need to eat these delicious sausages very, very soon. :)

Preferably hand-dipped or, at minimum, homemade - no food service/frozen crap.
