— Charlottetown, PE There’s nothing like a patriot’s pilgrimage to Prince Edward Island by air, water or bridge. After all, Charlottetown is where Canada was born! The Birthplace of Confederation is hosting an event for the whole family at Victoria Park on July 1st from noon to 10 pm. Every event is family-friendly and includes a Living Flag activity, a Family Fun Zone, giveaways, and a firework show hardly rivaled throughout the Maritimes. And it being a Maritime Province, the music won’t be in short supply throughout the while Islanders celebrate Canada’s 152nd birthday.

— Regina, SK Nobodydoes aprairie-themedCanadaDay like the city of Regina. On July 1st, Saskatchewan’s capital plays host to the Western Canada’s Strongest Man competition which includes events like the harness and rope truck pull, the keg toss, the car deadlift, Atlas stones, and the overhead press medley. The day also sees the highly anticipated Plywood Cup up for grabs where teams of four build a boat with limited materials and time before one brave team member races across Wascana Lake. The celebrations finish off with an amazing firework display at 10:30pm. For information about all the events this check visit https://www. reginacanadaday.ca/
— Vancouver, BC This one is so big, so iconic that it spills out into the streets of Downtown Vancouver. Food trucks are everywhere, the Picnic Plaza is full of families and kid-friendlygames andactivities andentertainment as Vancouver boasts the second-largest Canada Day celebration in the country (second only to Ottawa). With the fun-filled daytime festival, the evening parade through downtown Vancouver and the fireworks show, going to Canada Place on July 1st is one of the best ways to celebrate Canada’s birthday. All the events for Canada Place can be found at https://www.canadaplace.ca/events/canada-day/.
— Niagara Falls, ON This one is another no-brainer. Niagara Falls is already one of Canada’s biggest attractions, but on the country’s birthday expect a ridiculous amount of people to come and celebrate from both North and South of the border. So, plan to arrive as early as you can to take in all the events of Canada’s 152nd Birthday bash at the Falls. The phenomenal sights and sounds make Niagara Falls one of the best places to be on July 1st. You can check it all out at https://niagarafalls.ca/ events/annual-events/canada-day/entertainment. aspx.
