One of Central NY’s favorite events is back for another year! The 2025 Boat Float ‘n Folk Festival will be held on Saturday, June 14 from 11 am - 5 pm, at the Museum. There are paddling options from 4 different sites along the canal (including the Museum), and the Festival features blacksmiths, woodworkers, pottery, music, a petting zoo, food and beverage trucks, and… BUBBLES! It’s a family-friendly event, and we’d love to have you join us! More information and tickets - for paddlers and non-paddlers - are available on this website; just click “BOAT FLOAT 2025” at the top of this page. Help us celebrate the Bicentennial of the Erie Canal this year at the Boat Float!
