Winter Festival of Lights Turns Niagara Falls into a Winter World Wonderland
From November 7 to January 10, 2010, Canada’s largest illumination festival highlights an event-filled Niagara Falls holiday season, with over 1 million visitors seeing the best of Niagara Falls Canada, just a snowball’s throw from the sensational new Rink at the Brink.
Niagara Falls, Ontario (PRWEB) October 27, 2009 — Long winter nights are welcome in Niagara Falls when over 3 million lights and hundreds of glittering displays will cast a colourful glow across the city. Matching their brilliance is a star-studded season of entertainment that includes the November 12 Niagara Falls Comedy Fest, Christmas Concerts by Loretta Lynn and the Gatlin Brothers, and for the whole family, the magical Chronicles of Narnia at the new Queen Street Theatre in a revitalized downtown Niagara Falls, all perfect for a Niagara Falls vacation.
The Winter Festival of Lights sparks to life with an Opening Ceremony on November 7. This spectacular outdoor stage show in Queen Victoria Park features performances from the Winter Festival of Lights Choir, under the direction of the Ontario Conservatory of Music – Niagara Falls and the Niagara Star Singers singing a medley of holiday classics. And in a moment sure to put everyone in the festive spirit, this year’s special guests – Mickey and Minnie Mouse – have come all the way from Disney to help with the official lighting ceremony.

Outdoor skating rink to open Nov. 23 at ‘brink’ of Horseshoe Falls
Source: (CP) Canadian Press
NIAGARA FALLS, Ont. — A new public skating rink will open next month “a stone’s throw from the brink of the Horseshoe Falls,” say organizers of the Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights.
The outdoor Rink at the Brink, two-thirds the size of an NHL rink, will be located across from the newly renovated Table Rock Centre and offer excellent views of the Falls, says a release.
It will be open daily between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. from Nov. 23 to Feb. 28. Skates and helmets will be available for rent, and skating lessons will also be offered.
Admission without skate rental is $8 for adults, $5.75 for children.
“We think it’s going to be a huge hit with both local residents and visitors to Niagara Falls,” said festival chair Joe Miszk.

A once famous and now abandoned department store in Niagara Falls burned to the ground Sunday after firefighters spent over eight hours battling the stubborn flames that refused to burn out.
Rosbergs department store at Queen Street and Erie Avenue was once a community icon but had been abandoned for several years.
Seeing the fire was too much for Don Carrel, the grandson of founder Jacob Rosberg.(more…)
