Niagara Falls in Winter: The Winter Festival of Lights
Part of enjoying Niagara Falls in Winter is taking in The Winter Festival of Lights Note: All photos on this page are courtesy of the Winter Festival of Lights How can you describe a Christmas light display featuring more than 120 animated scenes and 3 million sparkling lights? Awesome! Niagara Falls in winter features the award-winning Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights. This celebration of the winter season began in 1983 and has grown larger every year, attracting more than one million visitors. The festival attracts people come from all over Ontario and many international visitors as well, from across the border in United States and even over the ocean. It's one of the main reasons why tourists come here to enjoy Niagara Falls in winter. The lights run all along the Niagara Parkway from the Whirlpool Bridge out to and through Dufferin Islands Park. (Dufferin Islands Park is just past the Floral Showcase.) Many of the lights are animated and watching them move as you drive along is a delight to kids young and old. Two of my favourite light displays are the Santa and the horse and buggy.
The Disney characters are a big draw for the kids. One of the prettiest new displays is the Disney Fairies. When it comes to the Festival of Lights Niagara goes all out! Don't miss it this year.
