Nick Wallenda To Walk Tightrope Over Niagara Falls Friday, June 15, 2012

High-wire performer Nik Wallenda announced on Wednesday that June 15 2012 is the day his boyhood dream to walk a tightrope over Niagara Falls will become a reality.Wallenda, 33, a seventh-generation member of the famed "Flying Wallendas" family of circus performers, is set to walk a 2-inch (5 cm) cable strung 1,800 feet (550 meters) across Niagara Falls gorge - the first such tight rope feat between the United States and Canada in more than a century.

This has been his dream since he was 6 years old, Wallenda said during a news conference to promote the event."I can guarantee nothing like this has ever happened anywhere in the world," Wallenda said of his planned walk 150 feet (46 meters) above the falls that span two countries.

"I've done walks that are higher and longer but none of them compare to this," Wallenda said.

PLEASE NOTE:
The Red Coach Inn is one of the closest venues near the upper rapids of the American Falls, and will be a great place to stay if you are looking for a minimal walk to view the event.

Boat tours begin, reenactments come alive and eating local is prevalent.
