The second-annual Canal Colors Festival takes over downtown Houghton Oct. 1-3, bringing several of the Keweenaw’s favorite fall traditions together for one packed weekend along the Portage Canal. The festival combines Plaidurday, Brew Street, the Keweenaw Color Run and Houghton Fall Fest, while adding new events, competitions and activities throughout the weekend. Coordinated by Visit Keweenaw, the City of Houghton and Circle UP, formerly Keweenaw Young Professionals, Canal Colors was built around one of the Keweenaw’s best fall backdrops: downtown Houghton and the Portage Canal, where steep hills on both sides of the water turn with the season and reflect across the canal. Thank you to
