The Poppy Project
November 1-11
This Remembrance Day, Niagara Falls is commemorating those who protected our freedoms, with a little help from the global community, by continuing to display a beautiful art installation of poppies cascading over the Niagara Falls History Museum.
The poppies are displayed on both the exterior and the interior of the historic 1874 stone building. Local artists Joanne Ring and Emily Andrews were brought on board to help design the pieces.
Be sure to look out for other Remembrance Day observances all over the Niagara Region on November 11 too.

Chrysanthemum Show at the Floral Showhouse
October 25-November 9
Floral Showhouse
Since 1946, the beloved Chrysanthemum Show has delighted visitors with dazzling displays of over 1,300 mums in 35 varieties at the Floral Showhouse. Did you know that these natural autumn bloomers are at their best with consistent cool temperatures? And to reach their full potential, they need undisturbed darkness – no light, not even from a flashlight.
This year, stroll through a joyful burst of yellows, corals, and pinks, and marvel at signature spirals, cascades, and single-bloom beauties. Begonias, ferns, and fall favourites add the perfect touch to this radiant celebration of the season.
