Every August on the 2nd weekend, the War of 1812 is re-lived where the most bloody Siege of Fort Erie took place on August 15, 1814.
Join us in our 20th year, this battle re-enactment has attracted over 600 participants to relive the event over a two day period. Pyrotechnics, day and night battle scenes, live demonstrations have all enhanced this event.
The setting begins with the capture and occupation of the Fort by the invading American troops. The battle sorties are highlighted by a vigorous display of actual musket and cannon fire from both sides culminating with the destructive explosion that originally destroyed about 25% of the Fort. The special effects to simulate this disastrous battle for the British Forces and the Fort is one that all spectators will never forget.
Join us on August 11 - 12, 2007 for the best demonstration of what it was like.
