Around Canada Day and Independence Day each July Mather Arch & the Niagara River waterfront, Fort Erie
A binational tradition: Fort Erie and Buffalo celebrate Canada Day and the Fourth of July together with concerts, food and fireworks over the Niagara River between the two countries.
The setting — under the Peace Bridge, looking across to Buffalo's skyline — is one of the more unique festival backdrops anywhere.
Realtor's Local Tip
Watch the fireworks from the Friendship Trail side and you'll dodge the bridge traffic. Fort Erie's waterfront stretch from here to Crystal Beach is one of Niagara's fastest-changing markets.
