Cascades of Fire Parking in Niagara Falls

Leave a comment

Reading Time:  2 minutes -With Cascades of Fire set to launch in Niagara Falls this weekend you can expect the city to get busy with locals and tourists alike. The Winter Festival of Lights event is already kicked into high gear, and when you add the two triple header weekends for the Cascades of Fire event series, parking nearby could be a challenge.

Though Niagara Falls is generally the biggest draw, this highly anticipated fireworks series will attract many more who will want to park near the launch site. Though instead of firing off from the base of the Falls, the fireworks will launch from the upper Niagara river control dam, just south east of the Falls brink (See image below).

If you want to score a prime spot with a great view, we recommend parking at Kingsbridge Park where there is a large lot just steps from the fireworks.

Kingsbridge Parking Lot

During the light festival and fireworks shows, Clifton Hill will be a popular destination for families before and after the shows. The main parking lot is right at the centre of Clifton Hill: The World Famous Street of Fun by the Falls. The lot is located one block to the Falls next to Queen Victoria Park, the Skylon Tower and near Fallsview Boulevard.

Clifton Hill Parking features:

  • Security Patrolled
  • Wheelchair Accessible
  • 2 Ways In, 3 Ways Out
  • Central To The Falls
  • Well Illuminated
  • Newly Paved
  • Ample Parking, 700 Spots
