Jackson Triggs Concert Evenings

[KMPickard]

We enjoyed a charming evening at the Jackson-Triggs amphitheatre near Niagara on the Lake the other day.

The concert venue consists of a large stage, covered with a canvas sail-type roof. Tiered seating rises a la Roman Amphitheatre. Patrons can sit on grassy sod, granite blocks or on the abundance of chairs that are provided.

There is a tent nearby where glasses of the J-T wines are served, along with light snacks and sandwichs. The wine can be enjoyed during the performances. Pre show catered meals and wine tours can be part of the package if desired.

The summer schedule is heavy on silent films with live musical acompanyment. Concert artists with upcoming shows include Peter Karrie and Cynthia Dale.

Mary Lou Fallis, the PrimaDonna on a Moose, amused and delighted with her version of Canadian Art Songs, such as "By the Banks of the Saskatchewan" and "Oh What a Differrence Since the Hydro Came".

They pass around the free Muskol, but a nice breeze generally keeps the 'skeeters to a tolerable level.

Jackson-Triggs makes a very drinkable Gewertz.
