History
The Winter Festival of Lights was founded in 1982 with the mandate of developing tourism in Niagara Falls during the winter months by the Niagara Falls Canada Visitor and Convention Bureau (now Niagara Falls Tourism), the City of Niagara Falls, The Niagara Parks Commission and numerous local businesses.
In 2013, Disney and The Winter Festival of Lights mutually decided to end their relationship after two decades of partnership on the event. In 2005 and 2007, the Festival was chosen as a Top 100 Internationally Known Event by the American Bus Association while its website and programme won "Best in Class" awards from Festivals and Events Ontario).
