Canada Day in Calgary: All the Events Across YYC

How is it the Canada Day Long weekend already?! It looks like the weather will be okay. We've definitely seen worse: For Canada Day, we're looking at a chance of thundershowers and a high of 23!

There are SO many things happening around our city, but we have to start with the most important thing everyone wants to know: where are those fireworks at?! 

For the first time in three years, the City of Calgary is hosting a fireworks celebration from the Municipal Building at 800 McLeod Trail. If you're the NW, Lynx Ridge Golf and Country Club will also have fireworks popping off! Both of those displays begin at 11:00 PM.

Looking forward to hosting another fantastic Canada Day celebration @LynxRidgeGC | Everyone is welcome! #yyc pic.twitter.com/K8mB6Z6slQ

Heritage Park is a great place to be for Canada Day! There will be multicultural demonstations all day long, a Canada Day Tea and the first 1000 people in get a free butter tart! 

Happy Canadian Multiculturism Day! On Canada Day, the Park is hosting performances by @globalfestyyc to celebrate and recognize the many contributions that people of all backgrounds have made and continue to make in Canadian society.

Olympic Plaza is also hosting live outdoor performances from Arts Commons featuring a variety of local musicians performing jazz, Indigenous, Afro-Fusion, hip-hop, folk, country and more.

We're just a few days away from #CanadaDay presented by Bell!
