Winter Festival of Lights is an annual enchanting event that takes place near Niagara Falls from early November to early January. For two months, the area known as Niagara Parkway is illuminated by a six-kilometer necklace woven from three million lights, as well as 100 light displays and unforgettable fireworks in honor of the holiday.
Although Niagara Falls is illuminated all year round, the Winter Festival is considered to be a truly spectacular sight. In summer and spring, colored lights shine for only three hours, but with the arrival of winter and a decrease in daylight hours, the luminous stream falls on the waterfall for seven hours.
Hundreds of tourists from all over the world flock to Niagara Parkway to enjoy the entire palette of colors of the amazing waterfall. The displays can be seen changing colors from red to white and blue, which corresponds to the colors of the American flag.
There are 21 floodlights installed on the waterfall, each with a diameter of 30 centimeters. Lighting at Niagara Falls was first installed 150 years ago in 1860 in honor of the visit of the Prince of Wales. Numerous light installations, in which about 200 colors were involved, had a grandiose magical effect.
Since 1925, a group of motivated entrepreneurs who have come together to form the Niagara Falls Lighting Council have developed a new permanent lighting system. Since then, the installation has worked continuously, the only exception was the years of the Second World War. The Winter Festival of Lights is the landmark without which the impression of America will remain incomplete!
