Ask not for whom the bell tolls … it tolls for Niagara.
The Rainbow Tower, the 165-foot (50.3 metre) tall monolith at the Canadian terminal of the Rainbow Bridge, is home to a unique musical instrument that many have heard, but few know about.
The Rainbow Carillon, a keyboard-type instrument, rings out four times a day, 365 days a year.
Made up of 55 bells that tip the scales at a whopping 43 tons, the carillon has been entertaining residents and tourists for the past 58 years.

A power outage forced Cirque Niagara to cancel Friday’s 8 p.m. performance of Avaia. The problem was fixed and shows ran as scheduled over the weekend. People with tickets to the Friday night show were offered a choice of tickets for another show or a refund.
From the Niagara Falls Review:
A three-year legal battle between Marineland and a local animal rights group has come to an end.
Marineland of Canada filed a notice of libel suit in July 2003 claiming $250,000 in punitive damages against Niagara Action for Animals.
The proceedings were dropped by Marineland in May and official notification was made Friday.
“We’re happy and relieved the lawsuit is over,” said Daniel Wilson, NAFA public education director.
The lawsuit stemmed from a letter NAFA sent in 2001 to a Niagara Falls car dealership, which was planning a Christmas party at the amusement park.
The letter outlined the group’s concerns over Marineland’s practice of keeping whales and dolphins in captivity.
The party went ahead as scheduled.
