This year, we’re asking guests to dress in their best Wine Country Cocktail Formal. But this is no stuffy ballroom affair! The Power Station’s stony walls keep the space quite cool (likely in the 70° F / 21° C range), so the Cool As Ice Gala is your chance to show off your favourite wraps, scarves, and suit jackets.

Guests who wish to participate in The Tunnel experience should be prepared with shoes that are suitable for walking, as it’s just under a 1 km walk each way. There will be a boot check on site, so you can make sure you have your most comfortable shoes and your dancing shoes ready to go all night long!

Your ticket price ($225 per person plus HST & fees) entitles you to an all-inclusive evening of fine wine, decadent culinary offerings, live performances, and so much more! Forget about arriving fashionably late - with interactive experiences like a dramatic 180-foot drop in a glass-lined elevator, a 2,200-foot-long tunnel to a one-of-a-kind Niagara Falls view, fireworks, an interactive sound and light show, and stunning photo backdrops, you’ll want to take full advantage of every second between 7 and 11 pm.

Don’t forget that your Cool As Ice Gala ticket includes event parking, a $30 value, as well as a 50% discount on Icewine Discovery Passes - with access to the Power Station, you’re looking at over $75 in free perks!

Event parking is free and can be found right next to the Niagara Parks Power Station, at the Falls Parking Lot.

The Niagara Parks Power Station is a fully accessible venue. There will be seating areas located throughout the Power Station, as well as a wheelchair available for use inside on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Please exercise caution when attending if you have light sensitivities, as there will be light shows throughout the evening. Please contact gabby@niagarawinefestival.com for more details.

While Niagara’s liquid gold will be the star of the show, our participating wineries will be serving a variety of premium VQA wines throughout the evening! Wineries have been encouraged to bring an Icewine, a sparkling wine, and one of their best table wines for tastings.

This event does not include a sit-down dinner, but culinary offerings will be served throughout the night. You can explore the menus above to get a better idea of what to expect!

While we can’t guarantee that we will be able to meet every guest’s dietary restrictions, there will be several vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available. Please check the menus above and feel free to contact our team for more information prior to the event.

If you and your guests need transportation to and from the event, Coventry Transportation has an incredible fleet of vehicles available to choose from. Mention our Cool As Ice Gala when booking to receive a 15% off discount!
