So whether you’re creating lifelong memories on a Christmas family vacation or out for a romantic winter afternoon with a special someone, the TD RINK at the Brink is a captivating experience – skating just steps away from one of the most magnificent natural attractions in the world. It’s sure to be a favourite among wintertime Niagara entertainment for years to come.

The CAA Winter Festival of Lights’ TD RINK at the Brink offers recreational ice skating, skate, helmet and locker rentals, as well as Learn to Skate programs for groups and individuals and a 3-on-3 Pond Hockey League.

It’s a novel idea for team-building excursions, corporate holiday parties, birthdays, group functions and school outings.

Located adjacent to Table Rock Centre along the Niagara Parkway, the TD RINK at the Brink’s location near the brink of the Horseshoe Falls offers magnificent views of both the American and Horseshoe Falls, along with nighttime views of the illuminated Falls and the weekly fireworks performances held during the CAA Winter Festival of Lights.

The TD RINK at the Brink is close to amenities (Tim Hortons, Pizza Pizza, Elements on the Falls Restaurant, Niagara’s Fury) located within Table Rock Centre and conveniently abuts the large Fallsview parking lot. The TD RINK at the Brink is refrigerated and thereby not dependent upon cold weather conditions for ice making.

When: December 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010
Where: Downtown Niagara Falls - Queen Street
Price: Free!

With roots planted firmly in the heart of the early 20th century mercantile district of Niagara Falls, but a vision for the 21st century that is hip, fresh, chic and savvy, historic Queen Street is experiencing a true renaissance.

Riding a growing wave of downtown core revitalization programs taking route across North America, today’s Queen Street is home to funky building facades, outdoor patios, fabulous shops, great eateries and manicured parks and green spaces – all designed to make the district a perfect place for a stroll.

But, during the CAA Winter Festival of Lights, Queen Street undergoes a different kind of transformation from modern bustling streetscape to Santa’s Village – a brightly lit holiday-themed promenade that extends the Festival’s incredible illuminations from the Niagara Parkway and into the downtown area in one seamless arc.

Illuminated archways straddle the street, storefronts glow with lighting displays and those huge front windows that were so important as marketing tools for early 20th century businesses will come alive with magnificent displays.

When: November 19, 2010 to December 5, 2010 - (excluding November 23) Mon., Wed. & Thurs. Showtimes: 3pm & 8:30pm, Tues. Showtime: 8:30pm, Fri. Showtime: 9pm, Sat. Showtimes: 3pm & 9pm, Sun. Showtimes: 3pm & 7pm
Where: Avalon Theatre
Price: Tickets start at $20

The spirit of Christmas comes alive as we present your favourite holiday carols, along with a glittering cast of singers and dancers, gorgeous costumes and the highest kicking chorus-line this side of the North Pole.
