Festival dates & nightly hours

The 2026 Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights begins Saturday, November 14, 2026, and runs through January 10, 2027. The displays are illuminated nightly from 5:00 p.m. to midnight.

Your private day is arranged around those hours — wine country and Niagara-on-the-Lake by day, the illuminated Falls and festival parklands once the displays are lit. We can’t arrange dates before the festival begins.

A private winter experience

Just 2–4 guests. One vehicle. Your own guide.

Your private experience includes approximately 10–11 hours from Toronto, with your vehicle, professional driver and dedicated guide reserved exclusively for your party.

Your driver takes care of the vehicle and transportation. Your guide focuses on you — personal hosting, storytelling and destination knowledge throughout the day.

Your private winter day

A private Niagara Falls tour from Toronto, shaped around the season

From your Toronto hotel to Niagara wine country

Your private Niagara Falls day begins at your Toronto hotel, where your professional driver and dedicated guide welcome you aboard your own luxury SUV. Travelling along Lake Ontario, you arrive in Niagara wine country and the scenic Niagara Parkway — one private vehicle, the details handled for you and a day shaped around your party.

Canadian Icewine and Niagara-on-the-Lake

Winter is Icewine season in Niagara. Stroll the heritage streets of Niagara-on-the-Lake, enjoy the Canadian Icewine tasting included in your package at a Niagara winery, and add a long wine-country lunch if you wish — each experience is arranged for your party alone and confirmed with you in advance.

Niagara Falls after dark and the Winter Festival of Lights

As evening falls, the Canadian Horseshoe Falls are illuminated above the gorge, and the Winter Festival of Lights fills the parklands with millions of sparkling displays — lit nightly from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, so your evening is timed to them. Seen comfortably from your private SUV, with hot drinks on hand and your guide sharing the stories behind each view.
