Tonawanda Boat Parade

The 2025 Tonawanda Boat Parade will kick off at the Buffalo Launch Club on East River Road in Grand Island, led by the replica Erie Canal Boat Seneca Chief! The parade will travel down the river – offering great viewing from Niawanda Park on Niagara Street in Tonawanda – and end at Gateway Harbor, where the festivities continue with food vendors, live music, and family-friendly activities.
