Kick-off summer with a supercar street party! On Saturday, June 3 from 4 to 6 PM, McLaren Automotive, known for its six-figure sports cars and iconic Formula 1 team, will take over a stretch of Queen Street in front of 124 on Queen Hotel & Spa. The road will be closed from Victoria to the entrance of Valu-mart Supermarket to showcase a fleet of McLaren’s high-performance supercars as part of a year-long, global 60th Anniversary celebration. This is the only event of its kind to be celebrated in Canada. The fleet will drive into position led by Lord Mayor Gary Zalepa.
“The town of Niagara-on-the-Lake has deep ties to its British heritage,” says Alana Hurov, Marketing Director, 124 on Queen Hotel & Spa. “That’s why we’re excited to partner with this iconic British brand to help celebrate a remarkable history with a special community event for everyone to enjoy.”
In the business of building high-performance road cars McLaren was founded in 1963 and based in Woking, England. The company quickly made a name for itself creating stunning, high performing supercars for the track, all boasting extreme power and the latest technologies.
Fans and car enthusiasts alike will be treated to a one-of-a-kind supercar display, street entertainment, live music by Undercover Duo, local vendors, artists, charitable tie-ins and more. Guests can also visit the hotel’s new NOTL Lounge to enjoy themed cocktails like the McLaren High Octane.
Opened in the Spring of 2023, NOTL is the newest Niagara-on-the-lake bar, restaurant and lounge in town. It’s located just inside the 124 on Queen Hotel and Spa, and it features a locally inspired menu, a beautiful indoor space and an outdoor patio by our water fountain. Our town is affectionately known as NOTL by locals. It is the shortened form of Niagara-on-the-Lake. If you live here, you are called a ‘Notler.’ So, if you want to impress the locals, feel free to use this terminology.
Join us after the event for a drink at our lobby bar or for dinner in our lounge or patio!
We know sometimes when you travel, you need a little piece of home. At our lobby Starbucks, you won’t need to miss out on your go-to order! Don’t forget to pick up a “You Were Here” collectible Niagara-on-the-Lake Starbucks mug to start your mornings at home with memories of your visit.
Be sure to try our McLaren-themed drink called “Formula 1” which is only available on the day of the event at the Starbucks at 124 on Queen.
