Niagara Falls bustles with a unique high-spiritedness during the winter. It hosts Canada’s largest light festival—The Winter Festival of Lights. Every winter, from the beginning of November until the first week of January, The Niagara Parks Winter Wonderland, a beautifully decorated five-kilometer route along the Niagara Parkway, adjacent to Niagara Falls, is spectacularly lit with two million lights.
The illuminations include the popular Enchantment of Disney animated lighting displays, featuring many of your favorite Disney characters, and the world’s largest illuminated Canadian-American Flag. There is no admission fee to view the illuminations but donations are gratefully accepted.
The Winter Festival of Lights turns Niagara Falls into a winter wonderland, with over three million sparkling lights along a five km route, new Niagara Falls ice skating at the Rink at the Brink, grand holiday displays throughout the city, and unique Niagara Falls events like the Christmas Concert Series with the Gatlin Brothers and Loretta Lynn, among others. This most enchanting of Niagara attractions has become a family tradition for over one million locals and visitors from around the world on winter getaways.
In addition to the lighted displays, enjoy a fantastic display of fireworks over the mighty Niagara Falls every Friday evening at 9 pm throughout the winter. If you are planning a Niagara Falls Tour this winter, don’t miss the newest attraction in The Winter Festival of Lights—Rink at the Brink!
