A few days ago Melissa asked me what was happening in Niagara at this time of the year. Twenty-five years ago I would have said nothing. Boy, have things changed. If you haven’t been here recently you know Niagara Falls no longer puts up the closed sign for the winter. This whole month is alive with Winter Festival of Lights events.
The biggie is the free televised New Years Eve outdoor event held outdoors near the falls. With fireworks over the falls at midnight. Even our downtown area of Niagara Falls (no, it’s not Clifton Hill... that’s the visitors downtown) is having a re-birth. The area has taken on an arts and craft theme and it’s a great place to stroll.
Anyone remember walking in Queen Victoria Park with the snow drifting down in front of the beams of light that illuminate the falls each evening? I do. It was magic and still is. Even better if you are holding the hand of the one you love. Okay, I’m a hopeless romantic.
