Golden Hour is a new signature summer fundraising event from the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Foundation, taking place on Friday, July 24, 2026, at 6 p.m. at Ball’s Falls Conservation Area in Lincoln.

Set in one of Niagara’s most treasured natural landscapes, this intimate sunset event brings together live music, locally inspired food and beverage, and conservation storytelling in support of the Niagara Peninsula watershed. Guests will enjoy a live performance by acclaimed Canadian indie folk band Great Lake Swimmers, an opening performance by Niagara-based vocal ensemble Miniscule, and curated soundscapes from DJ Marinko throughout the evening.

The event will also feature elevated food offerings from Chef Brad Rempel, craft beverages from Bench Brewing Company and other local providers, a Golden Hour Toast, a silent auction in the historic big barn, and a raffle featuring special prizes, including an Edward Burtynsky print valued at $2,800.

Proceeds from Golden Hour will support local conservation and stewardship initiatives that help protect natural habitats, restore ecosystems, support clean and healthy water, and care for conservation lands across the Niagara Peninsula watershed.

All guests must be 19 years of age or older to attend. Tickets are $160 plus HST and must be purchased in advance. See our website for tickets, sponsorship opportunities, and event details.
