The Seneca Falls Business Association (SFBA) is the lead organizer of the Seneca Falls Canal Fest. The Canal Fest traces its roots back to the Aqua Festival held in the ‘60s and early ‘70s. In 2016 with only 4 months of planning, the Seneca Falls Canal Fest was born.

Through the SFBA's efforts, the festival has doubled in size. However, the Canal Fest can only keep growing with your help.

Volunteers and Sponsorship Donations are always needed. We invite you to join in and be a part of this celebration.
