CITY OF TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WKBW) — The summer season is rolling right along with another big crowd-pleaser that is now underway, Canal Fest.
"To bring two communities together, two municipalities, two counties, we're unlike any other festival in the country, I think," said Deb Darling, Canal Fest Organizer.
Opening ceremonies took place Sunday afternoon with a big party to unite the City of Tonawanda and North Tonawanda.
It's a fun-filled event with something for the whole family, from the parade, to the car cruise, the diaper derby and more.
"It's so rewarding and I feel so proud to say the small core group of 100% volunteer people, put this event on for 8 full days," said Darling.
The annual Canal Fest parade takes place on Tuesday, July 16 at 6:30 pm. You can watch it live on the WKBW Facebook page, website, mobile app and on your favorite streaming device.
