CANADA DAY AT THE ALBERTA LEGISLATURE

Billed as Alberta’s largest Canada Day Party, this is a great option in the heart of the city. Things kick off with a pancake breakfast (nice), then enjoy live entertainment, ceremonial events and more. Plus, you’ll be super close to the city’s fireworks show once it ends.
