Get ready for an extraordinary journey as the legendary Maid of the Mist, an all-electric wonder in continuous operation since 1885, kicks off its 2024 season on Thursday, April 4, at 10 a.m. This beloved boat, entering its remarkable 139th consecutive season, stands proudly as one of the longest-continuously operating tourist attractions in North America.
President Christopher M. Glynn shares the exciting news of an early opening due to a mild winter, ensuring visitors can experience the awe of Niagara Falls sooner than expected. The crew is eagerly prepared to offer a one-of-a-kind bucket-list experience.
A mild winter will allow us to open early this year
-Maid of the Mist President Christopher M. Glynn
For the upcoming season, Maid of the Mist extends its hours, operating every half-hour on weekdays (from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and weekends (from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.). Summer will see further extensions, allowing you more time to bask in the mesmerizing beauty.
A special highlight for 2024 is the accommodation of the Total Solar Eclipse on Monday, April 8. In anticipation of the high volume of eclipse enthusiasts at Niagara Falls State Park, extended hours from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. are offered. Vessel tour operations will run on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the eclipse, providing a unique opportunity to witness this celestial event.
It’s essential to note that on the day of the eclipse, the Crow’s Nest will be closed, and Observation Deck-only tickets won’t be available for sale.
Ticket prices are $28.25 USD for adults, $17.75 USD for children (6–12 years), and free for children 5 and under accompanied by an adult. To ensure a smooth experience, guests are encouraged to purchase tickets online.
Last season, Maid of the Mist opened its doors on April 15, but this year’s season kicks off earlier, starting from April 4 and running through November 3, 2024, providing ample time for everyone to partake in this incredible adventure.

9. About Easter
In the Christian world, Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of Christ. On the third day after his crucifixion (Good Friday), the New Testament tells us that he arose from his grave and appeared to his disciples and ascended to Heaven…this is celebrated by Christians every year on Easter Sunday. The rabbit is known for its reproduction prowess (hence the term “multiplying like rabbits”) and is seen as having special powers to help humans reproduce, which symbolizes fertility and the egg is also a symbol of fertility, rebirth and new beginnings…which celebrates the death and resurrection of Christ. And chocolate? You can thank the Europeans for that. It began in the early 19th century and it was mainly France and Germany that decided to take this on.
Every year on March 17th, the Irish and the non-Irish alike, observe St. Patrick’s Day. What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland, has become an international festival celebrating Irish culture.
St Patrick’s Day marks the anniversary of the death of a Christian missionary known as Patrick, who was born in the year 387. At the age of 16, he was captured and taken to Ireland as a slave. During this period, he became very religious and after six years he fled back to his family.
Later in his life, he returned to Ireland as a missionary. He is said to have played an important role in converting the inhabitants of Ireland to Christianity and in ridding the island of snakes. St Patrick is buried under Down Cathedral in Downpatrick, County Down, and is one of the three patron saints of Ireland. The other patron saints are St Brigid of Kildare and St Columba.
St Patrick’s Day celebrations were brought to Canada by Irish immigrants. The day is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland and a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland. In the rest of the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, it is celebrated, but is not an official holiday.
Here is a few things to do for St. Patrick’s Day in Niagara Falls:
St. Patrick’s Day Global Greening
Niagara Falls will turn green for 15 minutes starting at the top of every hour (7:30pm to 2:00am) on St. Patrick’s Day as part of Tourism Ireland’s “Global Greening” program.

Celebrate Fallsview Casino’s 20th anniversary with a magnificent event featuring Michael Bublé, the adored international superstar!
Renowned Canadian crooner Michael Bublé is set to headline Niagara Fallsview Casino’s 20th-anniversary festivities on June 21, 2024. Returning to Niagara Falls for the special night, Bublé will now perform at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino for the first time.
Bublé, who has sold over 75 million records worldwide and received numerous honors, including 5 GRAMMY Awards and 15 JUNO Awards, is poised to make this celebration really exceptional. With six multi-platinum albums and over 14 billion streams worldwide, his commitment to preserving the classics shines through. Bublé’s distinct style, vocal ability, and love of timeless songs have been on display for the past 20 years.
Bublé’s history with Fallsview dates back to 2006 when he performed two sold-out shows at the Avalon Theatre. During the same year, he participated in the charity concert “David Foster & Friends,” held at the Avalon, contributing to raising $3.3 million for families in need of life-saving organ transplants. The star-studded night also featured Andrew Bocelli, Paul Anka, and Babyface.
Hailing from Burnaby, B.C., Bublé stands as one of Canada’s most successful pop crooners. Bublé’s relentless efforts and enthusiasm make every night an exceptional experience, whether it’s standards, pop, swing, jazz, R&B or comedy.
Cathy Price, vice-president of marketing at Niagara Casinos, expressed that having Michael Bublé perform is the perfect way to celebrate Fallsview’s two decades of success.
Fallsview Casino initially opened its doors on June 8, 2004, with a grand VIP night featuring Paul Anka as the first performer at the 1,500-seat Avalon Theatre. Two days later, on June 10, the casino opened to the public, marking the beginning of its 20-year journey.
The OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino opened more recently in 2022, serving as a second concert venue for the casino with a 1,500-seat capacity, expanding the performance and event offerings.
Beyond his musical achievements, Bublé has maintained a prominent presence on Canadian and U.S. television screens for two decades. Notably, he appeared as a guest judge on a special “Dancing with the Stars” episode dedicated to him in 2022 and stars in commercials for Bubly Sparkling Water.
Bublé’s performance is part of a series of events throughout June, commemorating Fallsview Casino’s remarkable 20-year milestone.
Join in the festivities as he sings his heart out, delivering romantic ballads, humorous, and dance-worthy tunes for a memorable night in the Falls. Tickets for Michael Bublé’s concert will be available for purchase starting Friday at 10 a.m. on www.ticketmaster.ca.

Niagara Falls, with its majestic beauty, has captivated visitors from around the world for centuries. While the Falls are a sight to behold throughout the year, there is something truly magical about experiencing them in winter. The frigid temperatures and icy conditions create a frozen spectacle that draws in adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating phenomenon of the Frozen Falls, exploring the science behind it and uncovering the secrets of this winter wonderland.
The Historical Frozen Falls of 1848
One of the most remarkable instances of the Falls freezing over occurred in the winter of 1848. During a severe cold snap in March, powerful winds shifted massive ice fields across Lake Erie, leading to the accumulation of millions of tons of ice that blocked the Niagara River’s source. With the reduced volume and speed of the water, combined with polar temperatures, the Falls came to a frozen standstill. For an astonishing 30 hours, the cascading waters were transformed into a glistening, icy cascade, allowing people to ice skate and even ride horses over the basin. However, this event was a rare occurrence, and the chances of witnessing such a complete freeze again are slim.
The Unlikelihood of a Complete Freeze
While the Frozen Falls of 1848 captivated the imagination, it is crucial to understand that a complete freeze of Niagara Falls is highly unlikely. The sheer volume of water flowing over the falls, even during the winter months, makes it extremely challenging for the entire cascade to freeze solid. Approximately 75% of the water flowing from Lake Erie along the Niagara River is diverted for hydro-electric purposes before reaching the Falls. Despite this diversion, around 20 million gallons of water still rush over the Falls every minute, generating significant kinetic energy that prevents a complete freeze. Even when temperatures drop to freezing, the flowing water remains fluid, requiring unprecedented temperature drops for the Falls to freeze again.
The Role of Mist and Spray in Creating the Frozen Illusion
Although the Falls themselves may not freeze entirely, the surrounding environment can appear frozen due to the mist and spray generated by the cascading waters. Niagara Falls produces an incredible amount of mist, which, under the right weather conditions, can freeze as it accumulates on nearby trees, boulders, and railings. This frozen mist creates a picturesque scene, with icicles dangling from cliffs and a white shroud enveloping the landscape. However, it is essential to note that beneath this icy blanket, the water continues to flow, ensuring the Falls remain in motion even during winter’s icy grip.
The Spectacle of the American Falls
For visitors seeking the Frozen Falls effect, the American Falls offer a particularly stunning vantage point. As the American Falls receive less water volume compared to their Canadian counterpart, the Horseshoe Falls, they are more likely to showcase icicles cascading over the cliff’s precipice. The combination of a frozen mist from the gorge and the presence of rockfalls at the base creates an optical illusion of a mesmerizing frozen façade. Prospect Point, known for its observation deck, provides an excellent spot to witness this Frozen Falls spectacle up close.
The Ice Boom: Preventing Historic Blockages
To prevent significant ice drifts from disrupting power diversions and causing damage to the Falls and local infrastructure, an ingenious solution known as the “ice boom” was implemented in 1964. This 1.7-mile-long floating device, comprised of steel pontoons, is strategically placed at the source of the Niagara River, between Buffalo and Fort Erie. The ice boom controls the movement of ice, ensuring a continuous flow volume down the river. This innovative measure not only prevents historic blockages and potential freezes but also safeguards the delicate balance of the Falls’ ecosystem.
American Falls
Capturing the Frozen Falls Experience
For those seeking to capture the beauty of the Frozen Falls, the surrounding Niagara Falls Parks offers ample opportunities. With snow-covered trees and icicles adorning the landscape, it becomes a photographer’s paradise. To capture the best images, getting up close to the Falls is key. Visit popular viewing spots like the Queen Victoria Park and Table Rock on the Canadian side or Prospect Point and Cave of the Winds on the American side. These locations provide breathtaking views and the chance to witness the Frozen Falls in all their glacial grandeur.
Exploring Niagara Parks in Winter
Niagara Falls’ Parks is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, even in winter. In addition to the Frozen Falls, the local parks offers a range of winter activities. Admire the frozen beauty of the Falls from various vantage points along the park’s well-maintained paths, or embark on a guided tour to learn more about the history, geology, and ecology of the area. Embrace the unique experience of exploring Niagara Falls’ Parks in winter and witness the enchanting Frozen Falls firsthand.
Safety Precautions and Guidelines
While the Frozen Falls offer a mesmerizing sight, it’s important to remember that icy conditions can pose risks. Visitors should exercise caution and adhere to safety guidelines when exploring Niagara Falls in winter. Wear appropriate footwear with good traction, dress in warm layers, and be mindful of slippery surfaces. Respect any barriers or closures in place to ensure your safety and the preservation of this natural wonder.
The Unforgettable Magic of the Frozen Falls
The Frozen Falls of Niagara captivate the imagination and offer a unique experience for those seeking the beauty of winter landscapes. While the complete freeze of the falls is rare, the icy formations, frozen mist, and shimmering icicles create a magical spectacle that leaves visitors in awe. Whether witnessing the Frozen Falls up close or capturing their enchantment through the lens, this winter wonderland offers a truly unforgettable experience that showcases the power and beauty of nature.
Plan Your Frozen Falls Adventure
If you’re ready to embark on your Frozen Falls adventure, ensure you plan your trip accordingly. Check the weather conditions and dress appropriately for the cold temperatures. Consider visiting during weekdays or early mornings to avoid crowds and enhance your experience. Research available tours, activities, and accommodations in advance to make the most of your visit. Embrace the wonder of the Frozen Falls and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Niagara Falls, with its Frozen Falls phenomenon, is a testament to the power and resilience of nature in winter. From the historical freezes of the past to the awe-inspiring icy illusions of the present, the Falls continue to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. While a complete freeze may be a rare occurrence, the allure of the Frozen Falls lies in the enchanting scenes they create. Embrace the magic, explore the surrounding winter wonderland, and let the Frozen Falls of Niagara leave an indelible mark on your soul.
A Year of Opportunities, Challenges, and Transformation
The Lunar New Year is a time of celebration and reflection, marking the beginning of a new cycle in the Chinese zodiac.

Dragon’s Personality: Majestic and Ambitious
Among the Chinese zodiac animals, the Dragon stands out as a mythical and extraordinary creature. In ancient Chinese culture, Dragons were thought to possess the qualities required to lead the world due to their dominant nature and ambitious spirit. Dragons are gifted with innate courage, tenacity, and intelligence, which makes them enthusiastic and confident individuals. They are not afraid of challenges and are willing to take risks in order to achieve their goals. However, Dragons may sometimes be perceived as aggressive and resistant to criticism. It’s important to note that Dragons see themselves as trailblazers, breaking away from traditional norms to create a brighter future.
According to Chinese element theory, each zodiac sign is associated with one of five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Gold (Metal), or Water. This means that there are five types of Dragons, each with their own unique characteristics:
Wood Dragon (1964, 2024): Introspective, less enthusiastic, and lacking in interpersonal relationships.
Fire Dragon (1916, 1976): Smart, easygoing, agile, and flexible.
Earth Dragon (1928, 1988): Smart, ambitious, and hardworking.
Gold Dragon (1940, 2000): Natural and straightforward, with talent and a desire to be seen.
Water Dragon (1952, 2012): Persevering, farsighted, and vigorous.
Chinese Zodiac Signs’ Horoscopes 2024: What’s in Store for Each Sign?
In 2024, the Year of the Dragon, every zodiac sign’s horoscope will be influenced by the Wood Dragon. Some signs will experience a release from the misfortunes encountered in the previous year, while others should prepare for challenges and potential accidents. Let’s take a closer look at the predictions for each zodiac sign in 2024:
Rat:
Lucky numbers: 1, 6
Lucky color: white
Lucky element: gold or silver
The Year of the Dragon brings favorable prospects for Rats. Lucky stars will shine on their careers, offering opportunities for promotions and advancement. Leadership roles are within reach, particularly in law enforcement. However, there are cursed stars that may lead to accidents, so caution is advised, especially when participating in high-risk adventure sports.
Ox:
Lucky numbers: 2, 7
Lucky color: red
Lucky element: ruby
Oxen may face some misunderstandings and gossip in the Year of the Dragon, as they clash with the guardian deity. However, their hard work will yield rewards, allowing them to make progress towards their goals. Lucky stars will help them overcome obstacles, but they should be cautious of their health and be mindful of accidents. Renovating their homes can help balance the negative energy.
Tiger:
Lucky numbers: 1, 6
Lucky color: black
Lucky element: pearl
Tigers can expect a prosperous year in terms of wealth. Lucky stars will bring opportunities for promotions, pay rises, and the opening of new markets for entrepreneurs. Business travel will enhance their luck. However, cursed stars may lead to accidents, so it’s advisable to obtain travel insurance before going abroad.
Rabbit:
Lucky numbers: 1, 6
Lucky color: blue
Lucky element: sapphire
The Year of the Dragon may present challenges for Rabbits in terms of networking and interpersonal relationships. Unlucky stars will require them to rely on their own abilities and caution. Accidents leading to injuries are a potential risk, so giving blood or visiting the dentist can help balance the negative energy.
Dragon:
Lucky numbers: 2, 7
Lucky color: white
Lucky element: rose gold
Dragons may face some bumps ahead as they offend two different tai sui in 2024. However, auspicious events such as marriage, starting a family, buying property, or initiating a business can boost their luck. A lucky star will support promotions and career progression. Cursed stars may affect health and lead to accidents, but giving blood or visiting the dentist in specific lunar months can mitigate these challenges.
Snake:
Lucky numbers: 3, 8
Lucky color: green
Lucky element: jade
The Year of the Dragon brings opportunities for learning and further education for Snakes. This is a favorable time to pursue courses or hobbies of interest. Love is also in the air for single Snakes, as they may meet their partners this year. Career advancement is likely, especially for those working in male-dominated industries or in clerical and white-collar jobs. However, cursed stars may create challenges in health and relationships, emphasizing the need for effective communication with partners.
Horse:
Lucky numbers: 3, 8
Lucky color: light green
Lucky element: emerald
Horses can expand their horizons and consider attending seminars or pursuing further education in the Year of the Dragon. Lucky stars will help them overcome obstacles, but caution is advised in high-risk water sports. Cursed stars may affect the home and interpersonal relationships, which can be balanced by following the Buddhist tradition of being vegetarian on the first and fifteenth days of each lunar calendar month.
Sheep:
Lucky numbers: 1, 6
Lucky color: gold
Lucky element: platinum
Sheep will reap the rewards of their efforts in the Year of the Dragon. It’s a time to work towards their goals, and their lucky star will assist them in wealth accumulation. Career advancements are likely, particularly for those in female-dominated industries like jewelry and cosmetics. However, cursed stars may lead to money disputes, so caution is advised when lending to friends and family or guaranteeing loans.
Monkey:
Lucky numbers: 5, 10
Lucky color: yellow
Lucky element: diamond
Monkeys can expect a favorable year, especially in partnerships, collaborations, and networking. Career progression is also on the horizon, with potential raises and promotions. Anxiety about gossip may arise, so caution is advised when entering contracts and legal agreements. Seeking professional advice for legal matters is recommended.
Rooster:
Lucky numbers: 5, 10
Lucky color: brown
Lucky element: yellow crystal
Roosters match with the guardian deity in the Year of the Dragon, bringing numerous opportunities through networking and the assistance of benefactors. Lucky stars will help overcome obstacles, while a small unlucky star may impact finances. A strategy to balance this is to make a big-ticket purchase, symbolizing a “happy financial loss.” Romance is in the air, but relationships may be impermanent.
Dog:
Lucky numbers: 1, 6
Lucky color: black
Lucky element: onyx
Dogs may face challenges as they conflict with the guardian deity. Auspicious events such as marriage, starting a family, buying property, or initiating a business can wash away the bad luck. Attending weddings and parties can boost their luck. Unfortunately, Dogs do not have lucky stars to rely on, so self-reliance is crucial. Cursed stars may affect finances, and caution is advised in aggressive investments. Health and home may also be affected, but giving blood or visiting the dentist in specific lunar months can help balance the energy.
Pig:
Lucky numbers: 4, 9
Lucky color: purple
Lucky element: carnelian
Pigs can look forward to a year of networking, relationships, wealth, and career advancements. Long-term goals will be achieved, and romance is in the air, making it an ideal time to attend social events. However, Pigs may be absent-minded this year, so travel insurance is recommended for any trips abroad. Volatility is a possibility, so risk appetite should be considered when making investments.
These predictions offer a glimpse into what the Year of the Dragon holds for each zodiac sign. While the influence of the Wood Dragon may bring both opportunities and challenges, it’s important to remember that our actions and choices ultimately shape our destiny. By being aware of the potential obstacles and leveraging the lucky stars, we can navigate the year with confidence and embrace the transformations and growth that await us.
Why is the Dragon the Most Popular Sign in the Chinese Zodiac?
The Dragon holds a special place in Chinese culture as a mythical, auspicious, and supreme creature. In ancient times, Dragons were believed to have the power to control wind and rain, soar through the skies, and turn rivers and seas. They were seen as the benefactors of farming and were associated with prosperity and wealth. Emperors were regarded as real Dragons, and the Chinese people were considered descendants of Dragons. To honor their dignity and divinity, the Dragon was included in the Chinese zodiac, becoming the most popular zodiac animal in China. Many Chinese couples choose to have a baby in a Dragon year, hoping for a lucky and successful child.
