What to Expect:

  1. Parking. There is Public Parking off of Main Street. Follow signs for Public Parking (behind Rikki’s and Shorts). If that lot fills, you can use street parking on Main, or use the Public Parking areas across the street on Liftbridge Lane East, near Donnelly’s and also behind the Box Factory (Fairport Junction).
  2. Registration. The event is held at Erie Canal Boat Company. You will see a red shed and our Registration Tent will be near that. If you have pre-registered, look for that Express Lane.
  3. Event. Once you have completed registration, you will have opportunities for Kayaking, Cycling, and perusing the Community Resources tables. Stony Point Art Studio and Gallery will have an art project activity. Guests can participate in a Scavenger Hunt that helps you make the most of your visit! Those trying out kayaking and cycling will be able to see the variety of equipment options and try out any that are of interest. You will paddle or cycle out a little ways and return back to home base. (If you want a longer trip, you can stay after the event and rent the equipment and stay out longer!)
