Attend a Canada Day Event
Many cities and towns across the country from Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary are celebrating Canada Day with parades, festivals, live music, and cultural performances. And the best part is they’re all free. So put on your best red and white outfit (or Canadian Tuxedo) and go and celebrate!
We would recommend celebrations at Lebreton Flats, The Old Port of Montreal, Canada Place,
and Banff Parade.
Explore Canada’s Great Outdoors
Trade parades for the great outdoors! Canada is home to some of the most beautiful natural places on the planet, so why not spend Canada Day exploring everything Canada has to offer? Take a trip to one of the country's stunning Provincial or National Parks. Hike through the majestic Canadian Rockies, cycle the scenic trails of Point Pelee, or canoe across the crystal blue waters of Lake Louise.

Discover the Indigenous Heritage
Canada Day is also a great opportunity to learn about and celebrate the rich heritage of Canada's Indigenous people. Attend a powwow or visit a cultural centre to learn about Indigenous traditions, art, and music.
Many of the Canada Day celebrations have opportunities to learn about Indigenous heritage. The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland located in Calgary, hosts an Indigenous showcase, cultural activities, and an artisan market. There are likely many Indigenous events happening in other parts of Canada too. Research local events or reach out to the nearest Indigenous cultural centre to discover what they have planned for Canada Day.
