The next Earth Hour is Saturday, March 20, 2027, from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
Join millions around the world for Earth Hour by turning off your lights for one hour! This global movement inspires individuals, businesses, and governments to take action for the environment and show their commitment to our planet.
Earth Hour began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, when 2.2 million people and over 2,000 businesses switched off their lights to take a stand against climate change. Since then, it has grown into a worldwide event, with landmarks like the CN Tower, Rome’s Coliseum, and the Niagara Waterfalls going dark to raise awareness about environmental sustainability.
In Niagara Falls, the City will turn off non-essential lighting at its facilities, including the nightly illumination of Niagara Falls, to support this climate action initiative. Essential lights for safety and street lighting will remain on.
How you can participate
- Turn off non-essential lights at home or work for one hour
- Unplug electronics and reduce energy use
- Spread the word! Encourage friends and family to join
