In 2022, this Canada Day marks the countries 155th birthday which means a huge and exciting countrywide celebration. In the city of Niagara Fall’s, we take this 3-day long celebration seriously and think that you should too. For the entire long weekend including big day on Friday, July 1st to the end of the holiday weekend, there are tons of adventures to be had scattered throughout the city. But of course, Clifton Hill will be the main hub for all of the action.
Niagara’s Top Attractions All Within A Block!
There’s no need to run around town, Clifton Hill’s World Famous Street of Fun by the Falls is Canada’s top tourism, family and entertainment destination for holiday weekends.
Niagara Falls Canada Day Fireworks!
Fireworks shows take place each night all holiday weekend at 10pm, with a show on July 1st!
Fired from the base of the Niagara gorge, directly across from the American Falls, an epic fireworks display will kick off the holiday weekend celebrations in style! Returning after a few years Niagara Falls Fireworks will be lighting up the sky with beautiful colours and intricate displays of exploding lights. You’ll be able to catch a beautiful night display every night of the long weekend starting promptly at 10:00 p.m. The show goes on in rain or shine but may be affected by winds. For the most up to date information about fireworks schedules please call 1.877.642.7275.
Of course, the Falls themselves will also be lit up, and in our country’s colours too! The Falls Illumination is a must see for all new visitors and as well as frequent guests. On Canada Day the falls will be lit up in a red and white from 10pm-10:15pm.
For the absolute best view of the fireworks, be sure to watch the show from the bottom of Clifton Hill. For a surprising and spectacular view of the show, why not take a ride through the sky? The Niagara Skywheel soars 175-feet above the ground and makes watching the lights over the falls a truly unforgettable experience.

Parking For Canada Day
You will find plenty of parking over the Niagara Falls Canada Day weekend at this lot pictured in the map below. This parking lot has recently been expanded to hold 700+ vehicles. It’s only a 5 minute walk down Clifton Hill to the fireworks show.
Remember, Niagara Falls will be busy for Canada Day — which means parking will be scarce throughout the city. This lot can accommodate plenty of vehicles, and is just steps away from the Fallsview district for those of you who wish to do a little gambling at the Fallsview Casino Resort.
