Winter Festival of Lights

The 42nd Anniversary of the Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights (WFOL) Presented by Niagara Falls Tourism November 16, 2024 to January 5, 2025.

51 Nights of Twinkling Lights
With over 3 million lights and 75+ spectacular displays providing colourful 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 and warm up with the Hot Chocolate Trail.

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. 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!
