About this party
The free headline act in Niagara Falls on New Year's Eve is the sky over the Falls itself. This year's official fireworks schedule sets two special nine-minute shows on December 31: one at 8 pm for families and early sleepers, and a second at midnight to count down to 2027. They are part of the winter fireworks season, which runs every Friday and Saturday from November 14, 2026 through January 9, 2027, plus nightly from December 18 through January 2. The Falls are lit from dusk until 2 am through December. On the Canadian side, the classic viewing spots are Queen Victoria Park and the promenade along the Niagara Parkway. Both get very busy before midnight, so arrive early, dress for lake-effect cold and plan your parking or transit in advance. All displays depend on the weather, so check the official pages on the day.

Plan your ride home before you head out. Check Niagara Region Transit's New Year's Eve service plan: late or extra service is often announced in December. Book a taxi or rideshare early, because demand peaks right after midnight, and never drink and drive.
