Ontario city will be flooded with exotic cars and private jets this month

Hundreds of exotic supercars will be roaring through the streets of Niagara Falls this month, and it's all for a good cause.

Niagara 5000 is a one-of-a-kind Canadian luxury lifestyle event taking over Canada's tourism capital on Sept. 18 and 19.

The event brings together more than 200 supercars and vintage vehicles for unique experiences, food and wine, fashion and entertainment, and more, only 90 minutes from Toronto.

Tickets are available online, and eligible supercar and vintage car owners can even register for the Supercar Parade and Cruise.

“Niagara 5000 is unlike anything else in Canada," said Alana Hurov, CEO of Niagara 5000. "It is a one-of-a-kind experience within driving distance of Toronto, and we are inviting eligible supercar and vintage car owners to be part of the parade, not just watch it.” 

Show off your ride during the car show, enjoy a delicious BBQ, cruise through the streets of Niagara Falls and Niagara Parkway, and cap it all off with a winery dinner.

Funds raised will go directly to McMaster Children's Hospital through MacKids to help provide specialized care for children and families across Niagara and beyond.

"Half of every $300 driver registration will go directly to MacKids, and our goal is to raise more than $30,000 this year," added Hurov. This goal is roughly triple the amount raised in 2025.

"McMaster Children's Hospital cared for my daughter after she was diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis at just two years old and struggled to walk for approximately two years.

"Today, she is a healthy, active child whose arthritis is in medicated remission, and Niagara 5000 is my way of giving back on a large scale."

The event will see the return of The Exotics Festival, a free public attraction packed with luxury cars, over 10 private jets, and activities for visitors of all ages.

The festival-within-a-festival takes place on the first day of the broader Niagara 5000 at Fallsview Casino and Resort, and serves as one of its biggest crowd-pleasers.

Melanie Villeneuve, daughter of Canadian racing legend Gilles Villeneuve, will take part in a special fireside chat during The Hangar Experience, a ticketed daytime event that will spotlight some of the best luxury brands taking place at the Niagara District Airport. 

Buffalo Bills star Dion Dawkins is bringing the Bills Mafia energy and his new SHNOW Water brand to Niagara 5000 events throughout the weekend, as the latter has been announced as the Title Water Sponsor.

The popular STK Masquerade Party is set to return as the event's grand finale, celebrating Niagara 5000's partnership with the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Ontario.

Single-day passes start at $300 plus taxes, while a variety of bundled experiences are available depending on which events you'd like to attend.
