Special Events in Niagara Falls USA

Waterfalls are just the start

Niagara Falls State Park is more than just waterfalls. There is so much history, lore and ecology here that we occasionally offer hikes or walks and talks that focus on some of the things that make the region even more special. Many notable events are held at the park, and also nearby. For more information about special events at Niagara Falls, please visit www.NiagaraFallsUSA.com.
