Old Canal Days

Old Canal Days is an annual festival presented with support from the Lockport Chamber of Commerce, celebrating the legacy of the Illinois & Michigan Canal and the community that grew along its banks.

This weekend event brings together local businesses, residents, and visitors from across the state to enjoy a lively mix of family fun, historic attractions, fair food, and live entertainment. From canal heritage tours to festival favorites like the carnival beer garden, there’s something for everyone throughout the weekend.

Whether you’re strolling the festival grounds along 2nd Street or exploring downtown’s canal-side attractions, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere filled with Lockport pride.
