Autumn Playday at The Homestead

Autumn Playday invites families to experience Niagara’s agricultural heritage through a hands-on day of storytelling, food, and history!
About this Event

Explore the historic John Brown House (c. 1796), create harvest-inspired crafts, discover the journey from flax to linen, uncover local archaeology, and enjoy stories that bring our past into the present. 

Sit down for a storytime with the St. Catharines Public Library, discover the Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum Tiny Museum, watch the short vignette "Brief Encounters" from Essential Collective Theatre, and savour the flavours of Char-in-the-Kitchen. 

This free drop-in event is part of Canada’s nationwide Culture Days festival, and generously supported by Ontario Culture Days. 

Celebrate the land, traditions, and people that have shaped rural Niagara.
