Niagara Falls Fireworks & Illumination Schedule

At night, see Niagara Falls fireworks make the Falls come alive with a colorful illumination display year-round, and seasonal fireworks.

2026 Niagara Falls Fireworks Schedule

The Niagara Falls fireworks series returns this summer with a five-minute display every night at 10:00 p.m. from May 15 to October 12, 2026. There will be two extended holiday displays on July 1 and 4.

Fireworks can be viewed at Niagara Falls State Park from one of the many viewing areas. All fireworks displays are subject to weather conditions.

2026 Niagara Falls Nightly Illumination Schedule

Every evening beginning at dusk, Niagara Falls is illuminated in an array of colors. In 2016, 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.
