The Canal Days Marine Heritage Festival is celebrating its 32nd year as an event that, earlier this year was designated by Festivals & Events Ontario, through a nomination process that included more than 3,000 festivals and events across Ontario, as among the top 100 best to go to across the province.
In recent years, countless tens-of-thousands of people of all ages and from both sides of Niagara’s binational border have flocked to Canal Days for live music, craft shows, car and motorcycle shows, carnival rides, fireworks displays and much more along the shores of Lake Erie and the Welland Canal.
For more information on this festival and events featured this year, visit canaldays.ca or call 1-800-Port-Fun.

people can argue about the boots but letting those persons through their line begs an explanation.
Thanks Scott – I have fixed it. obviously embarrassing from this end since three generations of my family grew up in south Niagaraq, and I knew that. I would like to blame it on the humidity and the fact that I desperately needed a vacation at the point where I posted that as an expression of my support for people in the port area. But at the end of it all, I screwed up. thanks for correcting. doug d.
