From the Niagara Falls Review:
Ballet dancers portraying “icicle fairies,” creatures who supposedly live behind the mist of the Horseshoe Falls, helped transform Queen Victoria Park into a winter fantasy land for the start of the Winter Festival of Lights Saturday. The annual winter festival is officially on, even though Mother Nature hasn’t yet decreed that winter is.
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, a children’s choir and festival mascots The Misty Kids performed to thousands of fans to launch the festival’s 25th edition, which runs until Jan. 7.
