Niagara Falls' Festival of LightsOur Niagara Festival of Lights page is given over to photos for the most part. These images are from the winter of 2008 - 2009. For 2009 - 2010, see the festival's own website using the link at the bottom of the page.
The Canadian Falls are the ones most people think of when they talk about Niagara Falls. They're the bigger, more impressive of the the two waterfalls. However, the plume of spray that keeps us all cool in
summer
reduces the impact of the light show on 'warmer'
winter
days. On really cold days, there isn't any flow over the falls to cause a spray and the light show is spectacular.
This moose and bison welcome visitors to the Duffin's Island Park section of the Festival. It's nose-to-tail traffic along here because it's a single lane going one way. That's the bad news but the good news is you've time to get out and take photos or just sit and admire the view. Colored lights reflecting from the snow make a pretty picture.
Duffins Island has the highest concentration of lights in the Festival.
This part of the Festival has a
wildlife
theme, in this case a fox and lynx. Not all the wildlife was alive, however -- there were quite a few dinosaurs.
This blue whale should feel right at home among the snow and ice as their home is up in the Arctic ocean. See our
Moose Factory
- Moosonee page for a closer look at Ontario's Arctic north.
Noah's Ark nicely links the animals and biblical theme for Christmas.
The winter 2009 - 2009 festival is over now but keep visiting their web site WFoL for the dates of the 2009 - 2010 season. Return to Home Page from Festival of Lights
