Canal Fest organizers ask Tonawanda council to restore rides, return to longer festival to help nonprofits Canal Fest representatives told the council the event drew 100,000+ visitors but attendance and nonprofit revenue fell after rides moved; they requested council support to return rides to Tonawanda and asked the mayor to provide a police/DPW/fire cost estimate so the festival can decide whether to stay or move.

Canal Fest is urging the Tonawanda council to bring back carnival rides and extend the festival to save local nonprofits from declining attendance and revenue.
