Nightly Fireworks Return to Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls is gearing up for another dazzling summer, and the return of the Niagara Falls Summer Fireworks Series is set to wow visitors from near and far. From May 16 to October 13, 2025, the skies over the Falls will light up every single night at 10:00 PM, making this one of the most anticipated events of the season.

A Summer-Long Spectacle

This year’s fireworks series begins on Friday, May 16 and continues nightly through to Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday, October 13. Each evening, a stunning five-minute fireworks show will light up the skies above the iconic Horseshoe and American Falls.

Mark your calendar for Canada Day (July 1), Independence Day (July 4), and New Year’s Eve (December 31) when the show is extended to a full nine-minute extravaganza.
