This Toronto park is having a free Canada Day festival with fireworks

It’s almost Canada’s birthday and one Toronto park is celebrating in a big way, and yes that includes fireworks. Canada Day at Downsview Park is making a comeback this year and it’s completely free to attend.

All are invited to come out and enjoy a day full of fun and games at Downsview on July 1st. The event will have live entertainment, games for kids, inflatables, vendors, and excitement for visitors of all ages.

It wouldn’t be a true festival without fireworks and food trucks, and Canada Day at Downsview Park will have both!

Please note: Fireworks timing and confirmation are accurate as of publication date. Please check your local weather forecast, and the organizers’ websites on the day of the event.
