NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WKBW) — For more than 40 years, Canal Fest has been celebrated every summer along the Erie Canal between North Tonawanda and the City of Tonawanda. But this July, the festival will move three miles north to Gratwick-Riverside Park along the Niagara River in North Tonawanda.
The decision to move out of both cities’ downtown areas has left many residents and businesses confused and worried about the change.
