Niagara Falls has the distinction of hosting some of the most spectacular new years eve fireworks in both the United States and Canada, providing a great focal point for a celebration that spans both sides of the border and draws huge crowds right across the holiday period.
(TBC) From 26 December through to 1st January you can enjoy some fantastic music, with over 70 performances, spread over 7 nights and 15 venues, there's something for all music lovers. There is the Good Vibrations Dinner Show at Americana Waterpark Resort and a New Years Eve Gala & Show at Greg Frewin Theatrical Center. Please check with organisers for more updates here.
Niagara Falls New Years Eve party is the main event, so head to Queen Victoria Park. Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, there will be the spectacular huge fireworks display at midnight, launched from the Niagara Gorge and viewable for miles around.
A crowd of around 60,000 is usually expected in Queen Victoria Park for the event so make sure you get there in plenty time!
