It’s Canada’s largest illuminated lights festival, with more than three million tree and ground lights twinkling in the Winter Wonderland. It features not only the world’s largest Canadian-American flag but also Canada’s largest illuminated menorah. This year, the more than 120 illuminated and animated light displays that make up Niagara Falls CAA Winter Festival of Lights are expected to draw as many as one million visitors.
Shouldn’t you be one of them?
More than just a display of glitter, the Winter Festival of Lights is live music performances, family events, celebrity appearances and fun for kids of all ages. Disney Canada, a partner of the festival since 1992, is always a big part of the show. Fans of Disney will love such displays as Little Mermaid, Toy Story, Pirates of the Caribbean and Fantasia. Be sure to look for the eight gorgeous Disney princesses: Belle, Ariel, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine, Snow White and Pocahontas.
From the lights at Niagara Falls, the popular displays that fill the Winter Wonderland along a five-kilometre stretch of the Niagara Parkway to the regular fireworks displays and the transformation of Lundy’s Lane into Candy Cane Lane, the Winter Festival of Lights has been a Niagara mainstay since 1983.
This year, you’ll be able to enjoy the spectacle from November 6 to January 31.
The switch will be flipped to begin this year’s celebration on November 6 at 5:45 p.m. and visitors will be treated to an extravaganza of sound and light featuring the music of the Festival of Lights Choir, the showmanship of Magician Greg Frewin and the sparkle of three million lights blazing into the night, illuminating Queen Victoria Park and the Niagara Parks Winter Wonderland.
Admission is free (although roving Festival of Lights ambassadors will willingly accept any donations to help offset the cost of the event), and parking lots are nearby. If you want to be sure of a seat, BYOLC (bring your own lawn chair.)
