Falls Illumination

To celebrate the beauty of the winter season and the annual Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights, a special illumination light show, “Sparkling Winter Lights,” has been produced by the Niagara Falls Illumination Board. The display captures winter’s magic with gentle snowfalls, the aurora borealis gliding over snowy tundra, blizzards, and frosted falls.
