On the evening of September 17, 2024, Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls was treated to a dazzling display as the Harvest Supermoon lit up the night sky. This extraordinary event, one of four supermoons in 2024, appeared brighter and larger than a typical full moon, offering a stunning spectacle for all who gathered to witness it.
The evening became even more special with a partial lunar eclipse, which peaked around 10:44 p.m. ET. Visitors on Clifton Hill, at the base of the Falls, or on the SkyWheel enjoyed a unique view of the supermoon as it hung low over the Falls, adding to the magical atmosphere. The mist from Niagara Falls added a soft glow, making the experience feel otherworldly.
Families, tourists, and skywatchers flocked to the area to witness the celestial wonder. For those lucky enough to be at Niagara Falls, it was a night to remember, as the combination of natural beauty and the lunar event created a perfect backdrop for making memories. If you missed this supermoon, there are two more chances this year: the Hunter’s Moon in October and the Beaver Moon in November.
