Just a 90 minute drive from Toronto, this well preserved 19th century town, with its charming inns, gourmet restaurants and elegant architecture, is the heart of Ontario’s wine region. Home to the famed Shaw Festival Theatre, Niagara-on-the-Lake provides a great base for day trips to all of the Niagara peninsula.

2011 is the 50th Anniversary of the famous Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake. This is a wonderful opportunity to discover Niagara-on-the-Lake theatre with productions from the Shaw Festival Theatre, producing the works of George Bernard Shaw and Shavian playwrights.
