While Toronto will be pulling out all the stops for holidays throughout the summer including this Victoria Day weekend, if you just can’t get enough fireworks, maybe a trip to Niagara Falls is in order.
Home to one of Canada’s best tourist attractions, the city has just launched its nightly fireworks shows for the entire summer, starting May 17 through October 14. In addition, the Niagara Falls will also be lit up in colourful lights, making the entire experience magical.
The fireworks shows will take place each evening at 10 p.m. and last for five minutes. For special events including Canada Day and July 4, the duration extends to 9 minutes long.
For the best views, Niagara Falls Tourism suggests watching them from outdoor spaces in Niagara Parks, from the Skylon Tower and Niagara SkyWheel, or indoors at one of the many hotels and restaurants overlooking the Falls.
You can even book a boat cruise under the falls to watch the spectacular show on a Falls Fireworks Cruise, which set sail every weekend from Friday to Sunday.
The shows will go on rain or shine, though strong wind may affect them. You can stay up to date and follow their full schedule on their website here.
