If you want bang for your buck, (parking is really the only cost) take advantage of the Niagara Parks Commission and Canada's longest running Fireworks Series staged every Friday, Sunday & Holiday from June 3 to September 4 at 10 p.m. Holidays covered are: Canada Day, July 1, Independence Day, July 4, & Civic Holiday, August 1.

There are bonus displays Fridays from September 9 to October 7 at 9 p.m. along with free concerts ( check listings) before the fireworks at 8 p.m. every Friday, Sunday & Holiday until September 4 on the Illumination Tower Stage in Queen Victoria Park, directly across from the Falls. Concert goers will enjoy a prime view of the fireworks displays, making for the perfect outing.

We attended the Friday, August 12 British Invasion concert, but there is only one concert remaining: Mosaik on Friday, September 2. Next year, remember that the concerts begin in mid-August.

Parking is always an experiment in cost saving at the Falls. If you park on top of the hill, directly above the NPC "Commissioners' Quarters," you pay only $5. Midway down the hill by the Casino, it's $10 and at the bottom, $13. Get some exercise and save some cash. Bring lawn chairs; the grass is always moist from the phenomenal amount mist generated by the Falls.
