May 11—The Niagara Falls Fireworks program for is nearing its 2024 debut. The popular fireworks series resumes its five-minute nightly shows on May 17. It continues through Oct. 14. The fireworks start at 10 p.m. nightly, weather dependent.

The fireworks series, set over the Falls, offers a nightly show against the backdrop of both the American Falls and Canadian Horseshoe Falls. The Niagara Falls cataracts are also illuminated every night of the year, making the destination a unique spot to see a fireworks display.

Two special extended fireworks shows are scheduled to celebrate both sides of the Falls on Canada Day (July 1) and the USA's Independence Day (July 4). Those nights will feature fireworks displays that will run nine minutes in length.

"Niagara Falls is such a special place to make lasting memories and capping off the night with a dazzling display over The Falls makes it that much more magical," said Janice Thomson, president and CEO of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Tourism. "During your visit, you'll find amazing opportunities to connect with nature, indulge in the thriving culinary scene, and find moments of playfulness that can keep you and those traveling with you entertained for many days."

Added Joel Noden, chair of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Tourism, "Fireworks have been thrilling visitors to Niagara Falls for years with breathtaking displays overlooking the world-famous Falls. The nightly shows are yet another reason to spend the night and explore all that Niagara Falls has to offer — day and night."
