Join Canalside Players for an evening of laughter as they present Halfway There: a heartwarming and hilarious tale of a small town, big hearts, and even bigger secrets.

At the local diner, Vi, Rita, Mary Ellen, and Janine know everyone’s business — until a heartbroken doctor rolls into town and turns everything upside down. In a place halfway between the North Pole and the equator, this warm, witty comedy about friendship, love, and second chances will make you laugh, sigh, and feel right at home.

Spend the evening with two acclaimed Canadian authors as Heather Marshall (Liberty Street) and Shari Lapena (She Didn’t See It Coming) take the stage for an in-depth discussion about their writing, creative process, and newest releases. The event includes an author talk, moderated conversation, audience Q&A, and book signing.

Wine and light refreshments will be available, generously supported by our wine sponsor The Good Earth Food and Co. and food sponsor Real Canadian Superstore Grimsby.

Join us for a special evening in the historic 1859 Schoolhouse combining film, wine and Niagara storytelling.

We’ll begin with a screening of CRUSH, a documentary highlighting the passion, challenges and craftsmanship of local Niagara grape growers and winemakers. Through their stories, the film offers an inside look at the people and traditions behind one of Canada’s most celebrated wine regions.

Following the screening, guests will enjoy a tasting of three wines from Malivoire, continuing the conversation about Niagara’s unique wine culture.

Celebrate the people, land and craft behind Niagara’s wine culture in this relaxed and intimate setting.
