Celebrate Canada Day in the Niagara Region


From dazzling fireworks to family-friendly fun, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this Canada Day in the Niagara Falls region. We’re proud to celebrate this day together — honouring our past, embracing our shared journey, and recognizing the many cultures and communities that make Canada home.



Canada Day in Niagara Parks


Celebrate Canada Day with a visit to Niagara Parks. With exciting attractions, stunning views of the iconic Horseshoe Falls and the beautiful scenery and trails along the Niagara River corridor, there’s something for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re a nature lover or an adventure seeker. 


See the Falls shine like never before with dazzling patriotic illuminations, then look to the sky as spectacular fireworks light up the night at 10 p.m.


For a spectacular view of the fireworks, Niagara Parks suggests that anywhere in Queen Victoria Park is a good spot. For prime spots to see the fireworks and hear the music by KISS 98.5FM they recommend Table Rock Centre, Queen Victoria Place and Grand View Market.
