The festival of lights turns Niagara Falls into a winter wonderland.
"During the visit, gaze at millions of sparkling lights along a 5km route, enjoy Niagara Falls ice skating at the TD RINK at the brink, be a part of grand holiday displays throughout the city, and groove to the beats at unique Niagara Falls events like the Christmas Concert Series. Get overwhelmed by the most enchanted Niagara attractions, which have become a family tradition for over a million locals and visitors from around the world," an official statement claimed.
The free festival features millions of dazzling lights throughout Queen Victoria Park, Dufferin Islands, the Niagara Parkway, and adjacent tourist areas.
