The Canandaigua Business Improvement District (BID) has hosted Fall Into Canandaigua for over 35 years. This highly anticipated fun day of family activities is designed for local families to come out and enjoy our historic district, local nonprofit booths, businesses, and vendors as well as exploring our many shops and restaurants. 

We look forward to showcasing our many incredible businesses and nonprofit organizations as they share all they have to offer in booths lining Main Street. Horse Drawn Wagon Rides, Kids Shows, the Annual Costume Parade and Contest, Family Games, First Responders, Animals, and Demonstrations are just a few of the activities already scheduled. kids dancing
