Canada Day is just around the corner, Edmonton! And if you’re looking for ways to spend it, don’t worry, because we’ve got you covered. From family-friendly options to major events and of course, some fireworks, there’s a lot to look forward to around the city!

We gotta start with a classic! Once again, the City of Edmonton will be putting on a huge fireworks show from Kinsmen Park, with viewing areas throughout the River Valley.
Where: Edmonton River Valley
Cost: Free to attend!
For something with a little more neighbourhood flair, you might want to head to Mill Woods Park! There’s an entire day of fun lined up, including children’s activities, live entertainment, food trucks, and of course, fireworks to cap things off.

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.
