Cities across the country will be marking Canada’s 157th birthday with family activities, concerts, fireworks, and more. Here’s where to find Canada Day activities in Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver.

Ottawa

One of the biggest celebrations in the country will be in the Capital Region, with festivities being held at various venues, including Parliament Hill, LeBreton Flats Park, and Old Hull.
On Parliament Hill, visitors can see the 75 and 742 Air Cadets Squadrons Band perform, as well as the Ceremonial Guard Band and the Royal Canadian Air Force Pipes and Drums. At 1 p.m., the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) will perform its Canada Day centennial flypast with an aerial demonstration, which includes the SkyHawks‘ aerobatic parachute show. Visitors can also enjoy an air show by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds later in the afternoon.
