Join us on What's Up Rochester this Saturday, July 11th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on 106.3 FM Rochester Free Radio as we welcome the team behind Spencerport Canal Days 2026!

We're talking with Kathy Wilson, Director of Spencerport Canal Days, and Harry Deaville, Director of Advertising and Lead Graphic Designer at Fuse Creative, about one of the region's most anticipated summer festivals.

Discover what's new for this year's celebration, happening July 25 & 26 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM in the beautiful Village of Spencerport. We'll be highlighting everything that makes Canal Days a must-visit event, including:

• Scenic Erie Canal boat cruises
• Live entertainment throughout the weekend
• The NYS Spirits Tasting Tent
• Brand-new children's activities
• The always-popular Canaligator Race
• Incredible arts and crafts vendors
• Delicious food from local favorites
• Free shuttle service between Spencerport High School and the Village

We'll also hear Harry's inspiring story of how a chance meeting with Kathy led him from designing festival signage to becoming the creative force behind the new Spencerport Canal Days brand. From the festival's fresh new logo and eye-catching marketing materials to its new website and Facebook presence, Harry's creativity has helped bring an exciting new look to this beloved community tradition.

Whether you're a longtime Canal Days fan or planning your very first visit, you won't want to miss this conversation.
