Ball’s Falls Thanksgiving Festival runs October 9–12, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily at Ball’s Falls Conservation Area in Lincoln, Ontario. The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority’s event combines artisan stalls, food, music and heritage activities. Consult the official event information and daily programme for your visit.
Tickets and arrival
Use the official festival site for current admission options. Its visitor FAQ says parking is included with admission, but buying a ticket in advance does not reserve a parking space. Parking can temporarily close when full; allow extra arrival time and consider carpooling.
Use the correct parking entrance
General parking enters from Seventh Avenue. Accessible parking is at the Centre for Conservation, 3292 Sixth Avenue, reached from Victoria Avenue. Show your accessible parking permit to the traffic controller. These are different arrival routes, so choose the appropriate entrance before starting your journey.
Accessibility, families and pets
The organizer describes gravel and grass surfaces, some slopes, accessible switchback paths and accessible washrooms. Ask it about your specific mobility needs; accessible parking does not mean every part of the grounds is level. Children’s entertainment is part of the programme. Pets are not permitted, with an exception for service animals.
Weather and planning the day
The festival operates rain or shine. Check the forecast, wear footwear suited to outdoor surfaces, and choose activities from the schedule before you arrive. See our Ball’s Falls Conservation Area listing for the setting and events calendar for other dates.
