Niagara Falls is full of festivals: the Niagara Grape and Wine Festival, the Niagara Ice Wine Festival, the Niagara Falls International Marathon and the Winter Festival of Lights are just a few.
Niagara Falls is also known for its ample outdoor recreational opportunities, including clean parks and trails; the 56-kilometer Niagara River Recreational Trail connects Lake Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake, winding past river and parkland.
