Niagara Falls Civic Holiday Weekend

While the city sleeps, Clifton Hill's vibrant streets light up Niagara Falls until the wee hours of the night. Although it isn't officially observed as a Statutory Holiday in Ontario; you can still expect city and government offices, banks, libraries and recreation centers to be closed on Civic Holiday Weekend. 

On Clifton Hill however, we are gearing up to accommodate you and your family for a weekend filled with good food, great fun and adventures for the whole family. Grab your fun passes and join us for a weekend of thrills and heart pounding excitement all weekend long. Located just one block from the Horseshoe Falls along the Niagara river, the Street of Fun is a must-visit for families, couples and sightseers in North America. Clifton Hill's exciting array of attractions include the Niagara SkyWheel, Zombie Attack, Movieland Wax Museum, Ghostblasters Dark Ride, Dinosaur Adventure Golf, Wizards Golf, Carnival Chaos, and Toy Store 4D. 

Clifton Hill offers the ultimate Civic Holiday long weekend destination. Whether you're looking for an action packed day or bits of excitement throughout the weekend; our 6 Attraction Fun Pass gives you the flexibility you need to take in all that Clifton Hill has to offer. Everything you could possibly want for an fun getaway is in close proximity to one another on the Hill. Make it an extra long weekend and enjoy the action packed Fun Pass over a span of a few days. Take in stunning views from the Niagara SkyWheel, walk through the beautiful gardens in Queen Victoria Park, enjoy the nightly Fireworks Show at 10:00 pm and head back up to Clifton Hill for some Carnival Chaos and friendly competition at Zombie Attack. Our attractions are open until 2:00 am so the fun really doesn't stop. 

Enjoy late night sweets and treats at Crunchicreme Waffle Cones, Funnel Cakes or Fudge Factory. Extend the 'FUN' in fun pass and join us the next day for Dinosaur Adventure Golf next to our roaring volcano and be sure to take some selfies with your favourite stars at Movieland Wax Museum. The fun doesn't stop there! Be sure to stop by the Niagara Speedway for an exhilarating and one of a kind go karting experience, grab a bite to eat on one of our legendary patios at Kelseys or Boston Pizza, while taking in the hustle and bustle of the city's most exciting district. 

What is the Civic Holiday?

Civic Holiday is celebrated annually on the first Monday in August across Canada, but takes many different names across the provinces and territories. In Ontario, the holiday was created to honour John Graves Simcoe who was the creator of the birthplace of modern Toronto, as well as to celebrate diverse Canadian culture. But each province and territory has adopted it’s own reason to celebrate.
