There’s something truly special about summer in Upstate New York, and Fairport Canal Days is one of the highlights that brings the entire Rochester area together. Taking place June 6–8, this annual festival transforms the Village of Fairport into a lively celebration of art, music, food, and community spirit. This year, Hoselton Auto Mall is proud to be one of the official Presenting Sponsors of Canal Nights! We’re excited to be right in the middle of the action.

What to Expect at Fairport Canal Days

Each year, thousands of visitors come out to enjoy one of the most beloved summer festivals in the region. Fairport Canal Days stretches along the picturesque Erie Canal and features an impressive showcase of local art, handcrafted goods, delicious food, and live entertainment. The streets come alive with the sounds of musicians playing everything from acoustic sets to full-on rock bands. The aroma of festival food—from sweet to savory—fills the air, and there’s a sense of togetherness that you just can’t replicate anywhere else.

Artisans from across the region bring one-of-a-kind pieces, making it the perfect spot to pick up a unique gift or a little something for yourself. Families can spend the day exploring the many booths, enjoying live performances, or relaxing by the canal. It’s more than a festival—it’s a full-on community experience, perfect for welcoming summer the right way.

Tips to Make the Most of Canal Days

If this is your first Canal Days or even your tenth, there are a few things to keep in mind for a smooth and fun experience. Getting there early is a great way to beat the crowds and find the best parking (or make use of the shuttle lots). You’ll be walking quite a bit, so comfortable shoes are key. Staying hydrated is important too—bring a refillable bottle or grab a cold lemonade from one of the local stands.

While the food and music are incredible, don’t overlook the scenic beauty of the canal itself. Take a stroll down the path, grab a bench in the shade, and soak in the good vibes. Whether you’re spending the day with friends, family, or even your pup, it’s a great time to just enjoy everything the village has to offer.

A Weekend for Art, Community, and Cars You Can Count On

Fairport Canal Days is about more than just fun—it’s about connection. That’s something we at Hoselton Auto Mall care deeply about. We’re proud to be a local business rooted in the Rochester community, and we’re honored to be part of an event that supports so many local makers, musicians, and families.
