Seneca Falls Canal Fest

The Seneca Falls Canal Fest is officially returning in 2026 — and it’s bigger than ever. Join us July 3rd, 4th, and 5th for three full days of nonstop entertainment along the historic Cayuga–Seneca Canal. Enjoy mouth‑watering food, a huge variety of local vendors and craftspeople, a high‑energy cornhole competition, live music all weekend long, the beloved duck race, a fun‑packed Kids Zone, and so much, much, much more. Mark your calendars — Canal Fest 2026 is the celebration you won’t want to miss. Now in its 9th year, the Seneca Falls Canal Fest has become an annual celebration of our Canalway, our downtown businesses, and the vibrant spirit of our community. Thousands of visitors come each year to experience our rich local heritage — from farms and craft‑beverage makers to artisans, organizations, boaters, entertainers, families, and neighbors who make this festival truly special. Both sides of the Seneca Falls Canal Harbor come alive with boats, vendors, live entertainment, demonstrations, food, and drink, creating a one‑of‑a‑kind waterfront festival atmosphere that welcomes everyone.
