Winter Festival of Lights
Take in all the festivities at the Winter Festival of Lights in Niagara Falls. This event kicks off each year in the first week of November. Massive fireworks displays go off each Friday evening from the start of the festival all the way until New Years. Decorative lights are placed in the trees and flowerbeds along the Niagara Parkway and the local parks, transforming Niagara Falls into a winter wonderland. Disney puts on cartoon character shows, and parades take place throughout the month. See the largest illuminated Canadian-American flag in the world. Free concerts and theater shows are held as well. Make sure you take a moment to gaze at the illuminated falls between 7 p.m. and midnight.

Journey Behind the Falls
November is the last month of the calendar year for visitors to hike to the lower observation deck at Journey Behind the Falls. This attraction allows guests to trek through the tunnels underneath the mighty Horseshoe Falls, emerging in a misty cave mouth directly beneath the thundering waterfall. Multiple portals are spread throughout the tunnels for visitors to take in unique views of the underside of the falls. The hike takes a little over 30 minutes. The colder temperatures in November often lead to impressive ice formations from the mist of the falls, making this a special time to visit.
