Mark Your Calendar for New Years Eve in Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls, ON – The Niagara Parks Commission and the Niagara Falls New Year’s Eve event partners are pleased to once again host the free New Year’s concert in Queen Victoria Park. NPC and event partners will welcome Dennis DeYoung (founding member of Styx), Loverboy and Honeymoon Suite to warm up the stage beginning at 8:00 p.m.
The free New Year’s concert in Queen Victoria Park draws approximately 30,000 people each year, with two spectacular fireworks displays that will take place at 9:00 p.m. and at midnight. Live television coverage will run from 11:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. on CHCH and CanWest Global affiliate stations. The celebration annually features an outdoor licensed area, food and beverage vendors. As always, the presence of security and policing will be on-site to ensure people’s safety throughout the night.
“New Year’s Eve is one of Niagara Falls’ busiest and best nights of the year,” said Jim Williams, Chair of The Niagara Parks Commission. “With the enthusiasm of all our partners, the whole city is coming alive with more to do than anywhere else in Canada. Visitors and residents should come down and enjoy our entire tourism district in full swing – from great music in Queen Victoria Park to high-energy gaming at Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino Resort; from the family fun of Clifton Hill to our romantic restaurants and spectacular hotel getaways,” Williams added.
Edgewaters Tap and Grill, located at Queen Victoria Place is your closest warm-up spot within steps of the concert stage, where visitors may stop in for dinner before the show or warm-up over a late night beverage, all while taking in the beauty of both the American and Horseshoe Falls.
Event partners include: The Niagara Parks Commission, The City of Niagara Falls, Fallsview Tourist Area, Ontario Lottery Gaming, Fallsview Casino Resort, Victoria Centre Tourist Area, Clifton Hill Tourist Area, VIA Rail and several other stakeholders within the city.

The Niagara Parks Commission operates North America’s most completely maintained parks system with 1,720 hectares of parkland and 56 kilometres of roads and recreational trails. It is, in fact, a city within cities operating, controlling and maintaining its own police force, road maintenance, snow removal and transportation systems and it has done so without taxpayer support since 1885.
