# Canada Day

**July 1, 2026**

The city's Canada Day celebration, closing with a drone show and fireworks over Lake Ontario.

The official opening ceremony is at 4 p.m. The day closes with live music, a synchronised drone light show and fireworks over Lake Ontario.

A full day of free family programming on the waterfront: live music, a marketplace of local vendors, food, and a Kids Zone, ending with a synchronised drone light show and fireworks over the lake.

## Editions on record

One row per edition, each against the same year, so where in the calendar this event falls is visible rather than inferred. Editions are added, never overwritten — a year that was cancelled or did not run stays exactly where it was. This record begins with 2026; earlier editions may well have run, and are simply not yet sourced.
