2026 Niagara Falls Nightly Illumination Schedule
Every evening beginning at dusk, Niagara Falls is illuminated in an array of colors. In 2016, the Niagara Falls Illumination Board launched an ambitious project to replace Xenon lights with new LED technology, increasing both the display’s brightness and energy efficiency. Please note, all illumination times are approximate and subject to change according to light conditions.
