29 March - Niagara Falls Runs Dry Day

 


Niagara Falls Runs Dry Day" commemorates the unusual event that occurred on March 29th, 1848, when ice blockages temporarily caused the rivers surrounding Niagara Falls to run dry. This event led to a significant reduction in the flow of water over the falls, bringing it to a halt for approximately 30 to 40 hours.

While the cessation of Niagara Falls' flow is a rare occurrence, the event has become part of local lore and history, with the day being celebrated as "Niagara Falls Runs Dry Day" on March 29th. It serves as a reminder of the natural wonders and occasional peculiarities of Niagara Falls, capturing the imagination of both locals and visitors alike.
