Winter Festival of Lights Turns Niagara Falls into a Winter World Wonderland

From a PR Web press release seen on Yahoo! News:

Long winter nights are welcome in Niagara Falls when over 3 million lights and hundreds of glittering displays will cast a colourful glow across the city. Matching their brilliance is a star-studded season of entertainment that includes the November 12 Niagara Falls Comedy Fest, Christmas Concerts by Loretta Lynn and the Gatlin Brothers, and for the whole family, the magical Chronicles of Narnia at the new Queen Street Theatre in a revitalized downtown Niagara Falls, all perfect for a Niagara Falls vacation.

  1. Went to see Festival Of Lights in Niagara falls on Nov 7th 2009.
    Its for children ages 3-9. Anyone older will just be extremely bored. The entire setup is very unprofessional. They can use all that money to do something better than a really crappy festvial of lights.

  2. What they need to do is to scrap the drive by displays (well most of them) and focus on a get out and walk “interactive” winter lights display that includes more than just lights have some animatronic light displays, create a mini north pole with costumed characters, get some reindeer and set up a tobbagon hill and have some food vendors with hot treats this combined with the skating rink would be a winter oasis!

  3. I have to agree with StEC a 100%. My kids are only 10 and 5 and they are already completely bored of it… and they don’t get bored easily like other kids their age. My Dad lives in Sarnia and although it is not as highly hyped as this festival, my kids love walking through their light festival display, it is so lit up in one area and is awesome. The festival here is just way to spread out, honestly I would pay to walk through all of the displays in one concentrated area along the pathway across from the Falls. I know I sound pessimistic, and I do truly appreciate what they offer. However it could be displayed so much better without having to add any new displays. I have also mentioned this before, but they need to set up Christmas music along the path to put you in the festive mood.

  4. And,of course, it’s good to see that the Skylon finally has their fabulous new lighting display ready!!
    Huh? What? Oh, it was just a dream. Never mind. 🙂
