Families in Lincoln, Ontario, can take part in guided nature hikes and museum activities during the upcoming March Break, from March 16 to March 20, 2026. The coordinated campaign offers local residents affordable, close‑to‑home options while aiming to bring more visitors to small shops and restaurants in Jordan Village and nearby communities.
The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) is running March Break Adventure Day Camps at Ball’s Falls Conservation Area. Those outdoor programs are designed to help children (ages 4–11) learn about the environment through forest exploration, winter STEM activities and outdoor skills. The NPCA also supports guided hikes and interpretive walks at Ball’s Falls as part of regional programming; families should register in advance for the March Break camps, which have a fee and limited capacity.
In Jordan Village, the Lincoln Museum and Cultural Centre will offer heritage‑focused activities and historic trades demonstrations tied to its Gatchell Barn exhibits—examples include saddle‑making and other traditional crafts—along with indoor, gallery‑based scavenger hunts for children that teach the community’s local history. Some galleries are open to the public, while specific hands‑on programs and school‑linked activities may require booking.
Tourism officials with the Niagara Benchlands say the goal is to make the region a year‑round destination for families rather than only a summer draw. The Ontario Ministry of Education calendar lists March Break for 2025–26 as March 16–20, 2026.
Residents can find a full list of community events on the Town of Lincoln website.
