A three-day festival, celebrating Buffalo’s place in maritime history, is being planned for the dates of September 19-21, 2014. As the prime waterfront season winds down, Canalside plans on making a big final splash. Aside from the ongoing aquatic activities that we see at the Inner Harbor, there will also be exciting visits from the US Brig Niagara (lead image), Tug DeWitt Clinton (lead image) and the USCG Response Boat Medium (below). There will also be special showings of vessels from the Buffalo Maritime Center.
Of course all of Buffalo’s favorites will be on-hand, including the beloved Spirit of Buffalo. There will also be boat tours, kids’ activities, food & beverage, a beer garden and live music. This is a super family-friendly event, and one that the kids will love!
