| Vessel Deck Tours |
| Only in Port Colborne does the Welland Canal pass directly through the downtown business district, and only during Canal Days Marine Heritage Festival will visitors find an impressive array of Tall Ships, Coast Guard vessels, a working fireboat, and more.
The Welland Canal is an active trade and commerce route, so visitors will be able to see salties, lakers, and barges travelling in and out of Lake Erie.

Where else in the world, but Port Colborne, can you have the unique experience of having a parade where the floats…actually float! Hosted by the Sugarloaf Sailing Club, upwards of 20 boats sail the Welland Canal as a pre-show to the Sunday evening Fireworks Spectacular along Historic West Street.
The best place to view the Boat Parade of Lights is on West Street in downtown Port Colborne along the Canal.
This parade is a pre-show to the annual Canal Days Marine Heritage Festival Firework show.
|
| Fireworks |
| Sunday, July 31, 2022, at 10 p.m. (time is subject to change due to Seaway Traffic)
Fireworks are free to the general public. Make your way down to West Street along the Welland Canal for a spectacular show. After all, while the creativity of the technicians makes it special, it’s the families in attendance that make it a success.
West Street in downtown Port Colborne along the Canal is the best place to view this exhilarating firework show. This is a Canal Days tradition that never disappoints.
Thank you to RedBoss Pyrotechnicians for providing us with a great show year after year.
Make sure you come early to check out the Boat Parade of Lights!
