The Erie Canal Boat, Seneca Chief, will be docked in Fairport that weekend and free tours are available on Sunday. Here’s their website and I’ve attached the flyer  with more information.
We have a natural wetlands for walking that’s adjacent to the canal.
If people would like to get on the water by kayak, or rent bikes on the Empire Trail (the canal towpath) they can find these options at Erie Canal Boat Company.
We have a lot of restaurants, a few breweries, a distillery and lots of live music over the weekends. You can find much of this information on FinditinFairport.com
