Celebrate the summer of your life at Canal Days this year.It doesn't get
any better than this. Life is easier, there is lots of summer left and when you want to hang out with your best friends - you call your kids.
Mark August 1st- August 4th on your calendar. Come to Port Colborne and experience a unique waterfront festival which celebrates the community's marine heritage with everything from marine displays and historical demonstrations at the Port Colborne Historical and Marine Museum to ship cruises to a Boat Parade of Lights and a spectacular fireworks display over the Welland Canal.
What would a great festival be without food and shopping? Canal Days is pleased to have many wonderful vendors and local shops to make your visit to Port Colborne a bountiful one. As you stroll around the festival grounds, beat the heat with an ice cream treat or refreshing ice-cold lemonade. Stop in at the food court and feast on everything from hot dogs, hamburgers, and pizza to fish n' chips, beef on a bun and gyros! There's something for every member of your group. For the shopper amoung you, West Street and Clarence Street offer numerous street vendors and local shops that animate their storefronts with sidewalk sales and activities. And don't forget to check out Hidden Treasures at Lock 8 Park, and show your support to local businesses and organizations in Port Colborne.
If you're a fan of antique and special interest cars, especially those irreplaceable 50s, 60s & 70s classics, then cruise by H.H. Knoll Park for a day long celebration of automobile history. While at the park view the stunning aerial display of art & science at the Canal Days Kite Festival. Witness some of the finest kites in North America flown by local and visiting Canadian, American and British Kite Clubs.
When the sun sets, show your kids that you had a life once too. Leave your cares behind and enjoy a concert in our Market Square or stop by one of the local establishments and sit back and listen to some of the local talent.
