Erie Canal Bicentennial Celebration | Beyond the Nest (Rochester)

Erie Canal Bicentennial Celebration


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 07/08/2017
Join us for a signature bicentennial celebration in Lockport, a city that has a special place in canal history and for today's travelers on the canals as well. The famous Lockport Flight of Five locks will be adjacent to an unrivaled performance by the Albany Symphony Orchestra situation on a barge inside Lock 35 of the Erie Canal — an event never before staged at the Canal.
