Family Fun at Winter Festival of Lights
Canada's Largest FREE Outdoor Light Festival Returns to Niagara Falls
The 39th Annual Ontario Power Generation Winter Festival of Lights is back from November 13, 2021 to February 21, 2022. This year's OPG Winter Festival of Lights has almost doubled in length to 101 NIGHTS, running through January and February to Family Day weekend.
The Festival transforms Niagara Falls into a magical winter wonderland with millions of lights and larger than life illumination displays along the Niagara Parkway and across the city's tourism districts from the Fallsview Entertainment District to Lundy's Lane and Downtown Niagara Falls. An annual tradition for many, it's the perfect getaway to get in the holiday spirit, reconnect with friends and family, and explore Niagara Falls in the winter months. The icy Falls are even more beautiful after dark with the nightly Falls Illumination!
Festival Map for January 10 - February 21
From larger than life moose to a giant gingerbread house and pathways of illuminated trees, the Festival route will have you discovering a new favourite display at every turn. We introduced 20 new displays in 2020 and we're adding 8 more fun displays this year!
Whether you're planning a family staycation, romantic escape, or a girls weekend, there are bucket list attractions, restaurants and accommodations to make everyone smile from ear to ear (even if their nose might be a little cold from the crisp winter air).
We can't wait to welcome you to Niagara Falls this winter!
