Winter Festival of Lights in Niagara Falls celebrates its 40th year

This year marks the 40th Anniversary for the Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights, Canada’s largest and longest running free outdoor light festival with over 3 million lights and 75+ displays. Drive or bundle up and walk through new displays and themed illumination areas, including the Royal Promenade, Frosted Falls, Enchanted Forest, and Great Canadian North with downloadable maps to plan your walking routes.
The Festival is celebrating this milestone year in a number of ways. 40 nights of free indoor family entertainment featuring top children’s performers on weekends and throughout the December holiday period at the Crowne Plaza Fallsview Hotel and Americana Waterpark Resort. 40 nights of fireworks and a new illumination light show on the Falls called “Sparkling Winter Lights” has been produced for Niagara Falls Tourism by the Niagara Falls Illumination Board with a five minute show at the top of the hour. This year Festival goers can warm up with a hot beverage on the new Hot Chocolate Trail, a self-guided trail that leads to 17 locations across the city with 23 unique flavours to sip and savour (both non-alcoholic and alcoholic options. We tasted some delicious creations from Doc Magilligans Irish Pub, Jamesons Pub & Cocktail Bar, Ripley’s Believe It or Not and the Niagara Distillery. Events across the city include the Avalon Theatre at Fallsview Casino Christmas on Ice Show which is open to all ages.
Check out all the segments and then come on down to Niagara Falls to enjoy the Festival and make it your winter tradition!
