Canada is known for its wealth of talented and dynamic musicians and singer-songwriters, who’ve offered their country and the world an abundance of songs that have inspired, excited and moved music lovers for generations.
During these times of swelling national pride, Jackson-Triggs Niagara Estate has announced the return of its annual Summer Concert Series and a lineup of returning favourite performers and new artists joining the stage at the Niagara-on-the-Lake winery.
