Niagara Polo returns to the Historic Commons in Niagara-on-the-Lake this Saturday, September 12th. 

The biannual fundraiser for the Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum runs from noon to 4 p.m., featuring two fast-paced polo matches with teams from the Toronto Polo Club.

George Dell, Chairman of Niagara Polo 2026 explains the history of Polo at the Commons. 

Barbara Worthy, Community Engagement Coordinator at the Niagara On The Lake museum, says the fundraiser wouldn't be possible without the help of the community. 

 

There will be plenty happening between matches, including the Canadian Cowgirls Precision Drill Team, the Heavyweights Brass Band, pony rides, local vendors, artisans, a silent auction and the popular Best Hat contest. 

The day gets started at 11 a.m. with a parade of vintage and performance cars, along with pipe bands, polo players and ponies, and other special guests. 

General admission tickets are still available, with kids under 18 getting in free.
