This Annual Canal Celebration, spanning 37 consecutive years, represents our recognition of the community, our heritage and the spirit that makes Little Falls a unique place in the Mohawk Valley. Canal Celebration has welcomed thousands of visitors to Little Falls, attending dozens of family oriented community programs, held throughout the week. These programs have been made possible through the dedicated efforts of hundreds of individuals, over some 3.5 decades, representing local Organizations, Businesses and Industries, as well as the employees of the City of Little Falls. The activities speak for themselves, not as a tourist destination, but as a means to showcase Little Falls as a community with vigor and pride. Take a stroll or bring your bike, enjoy our great architecture, parks and friendly neighborhoods or the Canal bike trail. View the escarpments highlighting the gorge, or bring the little ones to catch a fish in the mighty Mohawk. You might see a canal boat locking E17, the highest lift on the NYS Canal System. Spend time at Rotary Park Marina, located on the Erie Canal and Bike Trail, as it plays host to interesting travelers from far away places. The Original Erie big dig started with a ceremonial 1817 Groundbreaking, commencing a 100 year transportation marvel equated as the Internet of its day, simply The Canal That Made America. Where would we be today, if it were not for that?
