The lighted table top water fountain includes a water bowl, a superstructure rising from the water bowl with a view area, overhead, a pump supplied with electrical power, and a water delivery system to carry water from the water bowl through the superstructure above the view area and drop the water into the view area. A plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are mounted beneath the view area such that the waterfall is illuminated by the upwardly directed LEDs. A fiber optic light system is mounted between a scene board and a backboard, both of which are mounted at the rear of the superstructure behind the view area. Light generated from the fiber optics is emitted from said scene board into said view area and is reflected and refracted off of the waterfall. Optionally, an audio control turns ON and OFF the lights.
