There’s a party around every corner on New Year’s Eve in Niagara Falls. Don’t miss out on all the fun! Check out the fantastic events happening this year.
Winter Festival of Lights
The Winter Festival of Lights is one of the most amazing events of the season. During the winter, the whole Ontario area lights up with the magic of the holiday season. There is a stretch of walkway that spans through Niagara Parks, Dufferin Islands and surrounding areas that is decked with lights, visuals and breathtaking displays. Right around New Year’s Eve, the lights are illuminated throughout the night for family, friends and visitors to the area to enjoy. There’s even a firework show that you can spot from the illuminated path.
This festival is a must-do, must-see Niagara Falls attraction. It’s visited by over one million people every single year and is part of the Niagara Falls legacy. There are no tickets, no admission, and no fuss to this event—just fun for the family to enjoy together.
If you’re visiting from outside of the area, make sure you’re bundled in plenty of layers. This outdoor festival happens during one of our coldest seasons. Mittens, scarves and beanies are a must.
Adventure City
In the Falls Avenue Resort in Niagara Falls, there is the ever-popular Adventure City. If you’re traveling with kids to the Niagara Falls area, this should be on your list. Adventure City is packed with all kinds of different attractions. There are rides, bumper cars, mini golf, a fun house and much more.
There’s a 4-D Motion Theatre that plays shows with lifelike action. The technology in these shows makes it feel like you are there with the sights, smells and feelings projected upon you throughout the film. You can take in the joy of these 4-D movies as a family, then head out to catch the Niagara Falls fireworks that happen all over the city.
NYE In Port Colborne
Port Colborne is a coastal city just outside of the Niagara Falls area. Every New Year’s Eve, the city puts on an exciting NYE event for the whole family. This year on Monday, December 31st, the Vale Health & Wellness Centre is putting on a free event for families to come together and create things together. Throughout the day, there will be areas for kids to craft, make kites, play games, decorate cookies and much more.
Starting in the late afternoon, there will be live shows with Mad Scientists that kids and parents can enjoy together. Then, to round out the night, there will be open ice skating for everyone. There’s nothing better than joining in on some ice skating fun with the whole family until the fireworks chime off.
This event is an excellent choice for families of all sizes to spend quality time together while immersing themselves in a new city.
