Can-Am Festival

Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19, 2026

The Village of Sackets Harbor and the Town of Hounsfield are proud to host the 54th annual Can-Am Festival this summer. The event commemorates the close relationship between Canada and the United States, and this year’s celebration is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19, 2026.

This year’s festival is packed with free attractions, including a wine and beer garden, food and craft market, an aerial and static military display, parade, speedster challenge, games, vintage baseball, fireworks, and more! We’re also planning for an exciting musical line-up, with the bands and full schedule to be announced in the spring.
