The Battle of Chippawa Commemorative Ceremony

JULY 5, 2025 · 7PM

Join Niagara Parks Heritage in commemorating the 211th anniversary of the Battle of Chippawa. Fought on July 5, 1814, it was the opening engagement of the Niagara Campaign of 1814; the longest, most violent and bloodiest campaign of the War of 1812.

The Battle of Chippawa was fought between 2,000 British, Canadian and Indigenous forces and 3,500 American troops and their Indigenous allies on the fields of Samuel Street’s farm, near the banks of the Niagara River. The fighting started early in the morning and lasted until nearly six o’clock in the evening. When it was over, British troops suffered considerable losses against the victorious American army. Three weeks later, however, the invaders were turned back at the bloody Battle of Lundy’s Lane, fought on July 25, 1814.

Join the Royal Canadian Legion, the City of Niagara Falls, Niagara Parks and the citizens of Chippawa as we mark this important event in history.
