We welcome
you to the 2010 New Haven Canal Days Festival Webpage. Many consider Canal Days
our community’s premier homecoming event, welcoming current and
former residents as well as guests from the tri-state area for a week
of camaraderie and renewed friendships.
Our committee
volunteers, community leaders, civic organizations, businesses,
churches, and residents have worked hard to bring venues that will
entertain the entire family. This is a truly a family affair...there is
something for everyone.
The New Haven Festival
Committee consists of volunteers from all corners of the community. It
is our goal to give our local not-for-profit entities a venue to raise
funds for their specific projects. By uniting business and charitable
organizations, the positive rewards impact New Haven’s overall
quality of life!
The Festival Committee meets
on a regular basis 10 months throughout the year. The public is invited
to assist in the planning and coordination. No membership fees are
assessed and a public wrap-up meeting is held each July to obtain input
from participants and spectators of the festival. We invite and welcome
comments that will assist our community event in a positive manner. By
combining and coordinating activities scheduled during the week of the
Canal Days Festival, the City of New Haven is able to gain more
positive recognition and each event becomes more successful for those
involved.
Volunteers from the Festival Committee have regularly attended various
workshops and seminars held annually throughout the State of Indiana to
learn the “nuts and bolts” of community festivals, to
obtain new, successful ideas to involve the community residents and
visitors as well as the total business community, and to obtain the
necessary knowledge to handle all aspects of festival activities,
including…
Emergency Preparedness • Insurance • Licensing Requirements
• Promotion • Legal Obligations • Traffic Control &
Safety • Sponsorships • Parade Management • Financial
Control • Fire Codes and Licensing...JUST TO MENTION A FEW !
The New Haven Canal Days Festival does not “Just Happen”.
It takes 12 months of planning and it simply could not be done without
the input, support and coordination of all New Haven residents,
organizations, and businesses.
