The holiday magic returns to downtown Niagara Falls this December, as Jingle Falls USA spreads festive cheer from Friday, Dec. 5, through Sunday, Dec. 7. This year marks an exciting new weekend for the beloved event, with many activities taking place indoors at the Niagara Falls Convention Center – making it the perfect way to celebrate the season, no matter the weather.

The festivities begin Friday with the annual tree-lighting ceremony and fireworks on Old Falls Street – a heartwarming tradition that officially kicks off the holiday season in Niagara Falls.

On Saturday, visitors can explore the Live NF Makers Market inside the Niagara Falls Convention Center, featuring local artisans, crafters, and small businesses offering handmade gifts, treats and holiday décor. Throughout the weekend, guests can also enjoy outdoor horse and wagonette rides, as well as curling, mini golf, train rides, Santa appearances and more inside the Niagara Falls Convention Center.

The weekend wraps up on Sunday, with the ever-popular breakfast with Santa, where families can enjoy a festive meal and meet Santa Claus himself. (Tickets required for breakfast.)

“Jingle Falls USA is one of Niagara Falls’ most anticipated holiday traditions,” said Kim Barrus, director of special events at Old Falls Street USA “With this year’s new weekend and more activities indoors, we’re excited to offer families and visitors an even more comfortable and magical holiday experience in the heart of downtown.”

All Jingle Falls USA events are family-friendly and open to the public, with most activities free of charge. The only ticketed event is breakfast with Santa. For the full schedule of events and details, visit www.jinglefallsusa.com or follow @JingleFallsUSA on Facebook for updates.
