Contemplating the Falls by day is a place of dreamy, magical and natural splendor, but if we talk about fireworks and illuminations at the Falls is even more supernatural.
NEW LIGHTING OF THE FALLS
If you want to be mesmerized and gaze at the falls without even blinking, then we’re going to tell you that you’re in the right place. Simply visiting the Falls during the day would be enough to hypnotize you and make you forget everything for a few good moments, but if you also have the chance to stay at night and contemplate the illuminations on the falls and watch the fireworks, let me tell you that it will be impossible for you to forget these moments.
FIREWORKS AND ILLUMINATIONS AT THE FALLS
Both the fireworks and the illuminations at the falls have days and hours. The illuminations have a schedule, they are lit every day, but there is a small difference and spectacular broadcast, and is that on special days and especially charitable illuminate for the occasion. The show is served.
The fireworks have their days and hours, there are also symbolic days a year that are admirable to see, in later paragraphs we will talk about their days and hours.
THE BEST PLACE TO WATCH THE FIREWORKS
Since fireworks are artifacts that usually discharge in the air, any visible place is usually good, but of course, we are in a very special place and we want to be in the best situation to not lose detail, well, we are going to give you details of the best place to see the fireworks at the falls.
The fireworks are seen directly in front of American Falls, over the spectacular Niagara River, our recommendation and the best advice from the experts is to see the fireworks from Queen Victoria Park, usually the best place and as a small setback, if you travel in high season should go before and look for the best place with a clear view, since half an hour before, is when there is a large stampede of people arriving at the last minute.
Remember, here are some tips for visiting Niagara Falls
NIAGARA FALLS LIGHTING SCHEDULE
The illumination calendar is spectacular, since it occurs as we have written above every day, with the peculiarity that special and beneficial days change to another color, thus leaving the color marked and marked with the day itself.
The year 2016 is the last date in which a major investment has been made, which for 20 years there was none in this regard. The change has been very significant and thrifty with new technologies and LED lights. These new technologies and new lighting with energy-saving LED lights have given way to a wider color gamut and stunning lighting effects.
It should be noted that the lighting of Niagara Falls is funded and operated by the Niagara Falls Lighting Board and has been since 1925.
