After a long, cold winter, we’re excited for the spring activities Niagara Falls USA has…
At night, see Niagara Falls fireworks make the Falls come alive with a colorful illumination display year-round, and seasonal fireworks.
The Niagara Falls fireworks series returns this summer with a five-minute display every night from May 16 to October 13, 2025. All displays will occur at 10 p.m., with two extended displays on July 1 and 4, 2025.
Fireworks can be viewed at Niagara Falls State Park from one of the many viewing areas. All fireworks displays are subject to weather conditions.
Every evening beginning at dusk, Niagara Falls is illuminated in an array of colors. Almost 10 years ago, the Niagara Falls Illumination Board launched an ambitious project to replace Xenon lights with new LED technology, increasing both the display’s brightness and energy efficiency. Please note, all illumination times are approximate and subject to change according to light conditions.
