Niagara Falls Illumination Schedule

The iconic illumination of the Horseshoe and American Falls occurs every night of the year. Using a sophisticated array of LED lights, the falls are bathed in a rotating spectrum of colours. Visitors can view these displays from the shoreline or via local boat tours for a closer perspective of the light reflecting off the mist.
