Nestled at the junction of the Welland Canal and Lake Erie north shore, Port Colborne is a working marine community, with a rich nautical history and welcoming hospitality. At the height of summer, the entire city takes time to celebrate the reasons why this picturesque town has grown and prospered. Each year more than 300,000 people visit the festival.

Please note: Canal Days Marine Heritage Festival reminds you to leave your pets at home. Festival grounds only allow service animals.
