The Crystal Beach Waterfront Supper Market will close its 2026 season with a Las Vegas-based U2 tribute band and a Fort Erie opening act.

According to the Ridgeway-Crystal Beach Kin Club, Arms of America will headline the season finale Thursday, September 3, at Crystal Beach Waterfront Park.

Fort Erie rock band Rock Garden will open the show.

The finale will run from 5 to 9 p.m. at the park on Terrace Lane, with live music beginning at a special start time of 5 p.m.

The rain date is Friday, September 4.

Organizers say Arms of America performs U2 songs including ‘Where the Streets Have No Name,’ ‘Beautiful Day’ and ‘With or Without You.’

Rock Garden is described by organizers as a Niagara rock band based in Fort Erie.

The Ridgeway-Crystal Beach Kin Club says the finale will include more than 12 food trucks, community organizations, a charity of the week and a licensed beverage garden.

No outside alcohol is permitted, and organizers say coolers and backpacks will be inspected at the entrance.

Admission is free.

A free shuttle will run continuously from the Grove at 4055 Erie Road to the event site. Limited parking is available at Waterfront Park.

The finale announcement fills the last open date on the Supper Market schedule.

Fort Erie Radio previously reported the 10th anniversary season included 11 bands, 14 food trucks and a Kin Club bar supporting a different local charity each week.

At the time, event manager Dan Strugar said the final act had not been confirmed, but he was working on something the market had never had before.

The Kin Club says profits from bar sales go back to local charities and community groups. According to organizers, the charity of the week program has raised just over $18,000 over the past two years.
