Castle by Candlelight at Old Fort Niagara is December 9 and 16, 2023 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.Throughout the Castle, visitors will encounter members of the Fort’s 18th century garrison demonstrating everything from quill pens to fur trading to traditional games of skill. Tickets are $25- presale, $30 at door for kids and adults.

Twice each evening the garrison turns out to perform a grand feu de joie (firing of joy), a rolling fire of muskets and cannons. Cooks prepare a holiday feast demonstration, musicians play popular songs of the era and a Recollet priest reads the Christmas story in Latin in the Fort’s 297-year-old chapel. All proceeds go towards preserving and presenting the history of Old Fort Niagara.
