Niagara Falls fireworks show canceled due to wildfire smoke

Niagara Falls officials canceled the fireworks show on Wednesday due to wildfire smoke affecting Western New York and active air quality advisories. Organizers stated that the event remains paused until environmental conditions improve. This decision follows the movement of Canadian wildfire smoke plumes streaming eastward over Ontario, Quebec, and various regions of the U.S. Midwest and Northeast. An air quality alert remains in effect throughout Western New York until midnight on Wednesday.
