The Brownhills celebration of canal boat heritage and culture began at 10:00 BST, with traders and performers gathering by Silver Street, more than six miles from the affected area.
Alan Buckle from Star Crafts was one of about 50 traders on site, selling items from a coal barge.
“We’ve got a good bunch of friends that are both private boaters and traders and we all meet up all around the system and trade everywhere we go,” he said.
Helen Tidy from The Jam Butty, was selling preserves made from fruit gathered on towpaths.
“The Canal and River Trust have given me permission to forage on their land,” she said.
“[It’s] picked, prepped, made all very rapidly.”
The event, in its fourth year, raises funds for a project to restore miles of disused canal between Walsall and Lichfield.
