Canal Fest 2025
is over!


WE THANK ALL OF YOU WHO ATTENDED!

*************
It was a different kind of Canal Fest but we did the best we could with what the Cities allowed us to do.

We hope everyone had a good time in
Celebrating 200 Year’s of the Erie Barge Canal at the Canal Fest Events, both old & new!

PLEASE KNOW, the organizers of Canal Fest are a group made up of 100% volunteers.
Committed and dedicated to putting a quality event on in efforts to help the not-for-profit Member Organizations from both the Cities of North Tonawanda & Tonawanda keep their doors open and their projects funded.

*************
Hope to see you all again in 2026!
