Canal Days

Get ready for the grandest festival of the year at Wabash & Erie Canal Park in Delphi! This Saturday, July 6, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m., you’re invited to step back in time and experience Indiana’s Canal Era with fun activities for all ages.

Let’s take a quick tour of the excitement that awaits:

Canal Boat Rides: Take a narrated cruise aboard The Delphi, a 54-foot replica canal boat along the only remaining navigable stretch of the Wabash & Erie Canal in Indiana. Dock departures are on the half-hour, from 10:30 through 3:30. You can purchase your tickets online at this link until the office closes on Friday, July 5. On Saturday, you can purchase tickets at the Interpretive Center front desk, pending availability.

Pioneer Village: If you have wanted to explore the many historic buildings in Canal Park and see historic trades in action, this is your chance! Build and take home a birdhouse, make your own paper, take a free shuttle down to the Railroad Depot, play kids’ games and enjoy crafts at the Kuns Cabin, and so much more! Special guest Joe Reed, from the Buckley Homestead in Lowell, Indiana, will demonstrate rope-making at the Bowen Cabin, and every building will have something to see and do!
