"New Year’s Eve is one of Niagara Falls’ busiest and best nights
of the year," said NPC Chairman, Jim Williams. "Our thanks go out
to stakeholders for their continued commitment to another three
years of holding this widely popular celebration. It is exciting
to see the whole city coming alive, as Niagara provides more to
do than anywhere else in Canada on this special night. Visitors
and residents alike should come on down and enjoy our entire tourism
district in full swing – from great music in Queen Victoria Park
to high-energy gaming at the Casino Niagara and Niagara Fallsview
Casino Resort; from the family fun of Clifton Hill to our romantic
restaurants and spectacular hotel getaways, Niagara is the place
to be on New year’s Eve," Williams added.

road maintenance, snow removal and transportation systems and it
has done so without taxpayer support since 1885.
