Why Visit Niagara Falls

Now, you may be wondering what brings Hollywood A-listers to Niagara Falls? Some reasons why celebrities choose to visit Niagara Falls, Ontario is it’s proximity to the city of Toronto.
Being only an hour and a half drive from the city makes Niagara Falls a perfect getaway for visiting celebs! For the first two weeks in September, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) brings hundreds of Hollywood’s finest entertainers north of the border for 2-3 days, with many making a pit stop to visit the world-famous Falls. Also, visiting in September is a great time to cool down from the summer heatwaves. Conferences occurring year-round in Toronto, Hamilton, or Niagara Falls, also bring a number of speakers and authors by for a boat tour. And of course, film shoots happening in downtown Toronto swarm the streets capturing the perfect urban city scene for the next upcoming Netflix movie. Both stars and crew often enjoy a break to visit Niagara between shots.
This season we had the pleasure of hosting a number of famous guests, all who got #InTheMist and graciously sported our 100% recyclable red poncho!
