The Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights (WFOL) will once again illuminate the city of Niagara Falls, Canada, for 51 Nights of Twinkling Lights from Nov. 16 through Jan. 5.
With over three million lights and 75+ spectacular displays providing colorful visuals, Niagara Falls will be transformed into a twinkling winter wonderland along the Niagara Parkway, Dufferin Islands and across the tourist districts. Visitors to this popular annual event can bundle up and walk or drive through the festival route to explore the outdoor, self-guided experience, then warm up indoors with the Hot Chocolate Trail at over 25 participating hosts throughout the festival.
The festival firmly established Niagara Falls as an unforgettable winter getaway destination with plenty to see and do for visitors who return to enjoy multiple visits throughout the year. Festival organizers are promising an extra special year with even more to experience along the festival routes:
• New interactive displays and themed illumination areas.
• The Hot Chocolate Trail continues to grow with new stops.
• Special Falls illumination called “Sparkling Winter Lights” taking place nightly at 6, 7 and 8 p.m.
• 21 nights of spectacular fireworks running on the weekends and nightly from Dec. 27 to Jan. 5.
For the past four decades, the WFOL has been integral in building Niagara Falls’ reputation as a popular winter getaway. It was originally conceived to attract winter visitors to enjoy the icy beauty of the Falls and explore engaging outdoor displays. From those humble beginnings in 1982, the festival has grown to feature over three million lights along an 8-km illumination route that travels through the Niagara Parkway into Dufferin Islands and through the surrounding tourist districts.
