Seneca Falls Canal Fest

About

Held in downtown Seneca Falls along the historic Cayuga–Seneca Canal, Canal Fest is now in its 9th year and draws thousands of visitors each summer. The festival features live music and entertainment throughout the weekend, a large vendor marketplace of local artisans and craftspeople (jewelry, artwork, soaps, candles, textiles, home décor, specialty gifts), food trucks, a Kids Zone with inflatables and activities, a community parade, fireworks, and — new for 2026 — a Swap Meet for collectibles and vintage finds. Strong foot traffic and an established crowd looking to support local businesses.
