Niagara Falls fireworks are scheduled nightly at 10 p.m. from May 15 to October 12, 2026, weather permitting. Public viewing is free. The display is visible from both sides of the Niagara River, so choose a viewing area on the side where you are staying.
Where to watch
On the Canadian side, Niagara Parks recommends the grassy areas and parapet wall in Queen Victoria Park. On the U.S. side, Niagara Falls State Park has viewing areas facing the Falls. Allow time to reach your spot before the show; the regular display is about five minutes long.
Parking and weather
Queen Victoria Place parking is limited. Niagara Parks also identifies Falls Parking across from Table Rock as an option. Use our Niagara Falls parking guide to plan your arrival, and check the organizer’s latest notice before making a special trip: wind or other unsuitable weather can cancel a display.
Fireworks and the nightly illumination of the Falls have different schedules. The October 12 end date here applies to the announced 2026 fireworks season; it does not confirm a winter fireworks programme.
