Come on out for Live Music at the Vineyard, where the vines set the stage and the good times come naturally.

At French Valley, we’re pouring wine, beer, and cider in a space that’s made for everyone—families, friends, and anyone looking to kick back and stay awhile."

We will gather at 8:30 PM to create the floats (all materials provided); just simple paper bags which we decorate to hold our candles that float down the river. At 9:00 PM we will join together in a circle to share thoughts, poems and songs related to peace. Please bring something to share if you would like.

We will float the candles, walk in silence along the bank and up on the bridges to accompany the candles down the river as people in the kayaks and canoes will paddle along, guiding floats if needed. They will pick them up at the end and paddle them back to the launch area.

Folks have gathered at the Boardman River since the early 1980’s to commemorate the victims of the atomic bomb, dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, by the United States in 1945. We also honor the victims of all wars and share ideas about how we can work towards world peace.

Please bring a chair if you need one as we gather together in a circle. Everyone is welcome.

Step back in time at the Port Oneida Fair and experience life as it was in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Imagine the life of the pioneers as you help bale hay or watch a broom-maker at work. Learn about spinning, basket weaving, soap making, butter making, candle dipping, and fur trapping. Listen as park rangers and local history experts share the area's history. Watch as teams of oxen and horses cut, load, and haul hay and artists and craftsmen demonstrate their skills.

Arrive anytime between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm. Most people spend 3-4 hours at the fair.
