* Event times, schedule and activities are subject to change
This is the fourth time I’m spending NYE with my family in Toronto’s Queen Victoria Park overlooking Niagara Falls and the event is always magnificient. But I have to admit that it took me a while before I finally discovered a perfect spot from which I can enjoy the splendid view of the firework.
An absolutely splendid event! It always offers a load of excellent live performances; this year I enjoyed The Sheepdogs performing “I Don’t Know” the most. I was thinking of the other ways to spend New Year’s Eve in Toronto but after realizing all the pros and cons I did stick with Niagara Falls. Being there with thousands of people, I get this great feeling of purpose and solidarity when the firework starts.
