Starting out in 2016, the Welland Float Fest has grown into one of the areas most beloved family friendly, world record holding summer events!
It’s FREE to participate (with the donation of a non perishable food or hygiene item for our local food banks) and open to all ages!
What’s it all about?
We welcome you to a beautiful day floating on our beautiful canal and join our lazy floating caravan!
Spend a leisurely afternoon and evening with us picnicking along the canal banks, enjoying great food, amazing live entertainment all day and evening long, an artisan market for unique shopping, delicious food vendors, bouncy castles and other fun for the kids, and so much more!
The safety of all participants is our number one priority, and we couldn’t do it without the help of 905 Rentals as they are a crucial part of our safety team out on the water!
Don’t forget to stick around after the float as Brian will be back with his Jetovator, followed by our amazing firework show over the water Sponsored by Canadian Tire Financial – It’s worth bringing a sweater and staying up late to watch!
Feel free to browse through our website for all event details and tips to make sure you have everything you need to have an awesome time.
