A new Ontario country music festival is returning for a second year

Yee-haw! Misty City Music Festival is returning for its second year, and it’s going to be even bigger. Happening at Niagara Falls at Fallsview Event Grounds, the festival was such a massive success that it’s been upped from two days to three days, running from Sept. 18 to 20, 2026.

This year’s rendition includes some big names taking the stage like Brooks & Dunn, Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Lonestar, and Avery Anna.

“Niagara’s newest festival will also feature an exciting selection of local food vendors producing world-class BBQ, alongside cold beer, cocktails, spirits and more,” Misty City Music Festival explains.

Tickets are on sale via presale (pssst – the code is MISTY2026) now, while the general public sale begins on Friday, March 13.

Options include weekend general admission or weekend VIP. The VIP pass comes with the following:

Access to the VIP area
Front of stage viewing area
Dedicated VIP area bar
Dedicated express entrance and box office
Private indoor air-conditioned washrooms
Access to exclusive festival merchandise

The best part about the location is that there are plenty of hotels and restaurants in the Niagara area, meaning your weekend stay will be even sweeter.
