Cleaning up after the New Year’s Eve concert/broadcast
It takes a lot to setup for the New Year’s Eve concert in Queen Victoria Park, and it also takes a lot to take everything down.

Getting ready to party on New Year’s Eve
From the Niagara Falls Review:
When something works, the Niagara Parks Police like to stick with it.
Even though Ontario’s liquor laws were loosened up a bit this past summer, those wishing to have a few drinks at the New Year’s Eve party in Queen Victoria Park will have to remain inside a designated area where alcohol is served.
“The last two years we’ve had a licensed area and that discourages people from bringing in their own alcohol into the park and we don’t have to worry about people tripping over empty bottles or bottles being thrown,” said Niagara Parks Police Chief Doug Kane. “We are able to secure the area so that it’s remains a safe family event.”

New Year’s concert will always have its critics
From the Niagara Falls Review:
Later this month, for the 20th time, there will be a big, free New Year’s Eve concert down at Queen Victoria Park.
Also happening for the 20th time? Griping about the New Year’s Eve concert.
Like Auld Lang Syne and jacked-up hotel rates, it’s a New Year’s tradition in Niagara Falls. The second the lineup is announced, the complaints begin. It doesn’t matter that the show doesn’t cost a cent, it doesn’t matter there are endless other things to do (including a rave at the convention centre this year) … the New Year’s show is our nationally televised badge of honour, and we take it serious.
The problem organizers face with this show is trying to please two very different camps – the rock show crowd, and the family concert crowd. The two don’t mix well, and I’m not sure they should. Pleasing one means shortchanging the other.

New Saturday rock concert series announced in Falls
From the Buffalo News:
The family-oriented free concerts on Saturday evenings in the former E. Dent Lackey Plaza are long gone, but downtown Niagara Falls soon will be rocking with a new Saturday night concert series that will be more upbeat and more modern and may appeal to a more diverse audience of active tourists and residents.
The Hard Rock Cafe announced Tuesday that it will sponsor six free outdoor concerts starting July 3 on Old Falls Street, adjacent to the cafe at 333 Prospect St. and across the street from the main entrance to Niagara Falls State Park.
Mayor Paul A. Dyster joined Hard Rock General Manager Dominic Verni in announcing that Canadian performer Gord Downie would headline the first concert at 6 p. m. July 3, with Independence Day fireworks to follow. “It will be truly an international celebration of the Independence Day weekend,” the mayor said.
