The most enchanting of Niagara Falls attractions, the annual Ontario Power Generation Winter Festival of Lights is back to continue the tradition of holiday lights and family fun! What better way to light up the end of the year than by enjoying Canada’s largest FREE outdoor light festival?
This bright and cheery festival is on now, featuring over three million lights and dazzling 3D displays along Dufferin Islands, the Niagara Parkway, and across Niagara Falls. This year, the Festival will illuminate Niagara Falls for 101 nights, almost doubling the amount of time you can discover the winter magic of twinkling lights.
With over 75 spectacular displays providing colourful visuals, including returning festival favourites like larger-than-life 3D animals, giant gingerbread house, and illuminated trees, plus new displays such as a gingerbread family, narwhal, candy canes, and more, Niagara Falls has transformed into a twinkling winter wonderland.
This year’s OPG Winter Festival of Lights is delighted to introduce family-friendly live entertainment every weekend and nightly during the holidays, featuring musicians, magicians, jugglers and more. Hosted at the Hilton Fallsview Hotel & Suites, the new indoor entertainment is the perfect opportunity to warm up and enjoy more family fun, in accordance with Public Health measures.
Surround yourself and loved ones with inspiring, bright displays of happiness, hope, and cheer. Friends and family can make new memories throughout the extended Festival season that runs until Family Day on February 21, 2022.
