TOWN OF COLLINGWOOD
*************************
Celebrate our country, and the community we call home, at the Collingwood Festival for Canada. This glowing family festival in the historic, harbour-front community of Collingwood is a traditional tribute to this glorious country. Enjoy a full lineup of activities for the entire family all weekend long, from Saturday, June 29 to Monday, July 1.
Enjoy strolling entertainment, live music, and on-the-water events. In the heart of historic Downtown Collingwood, you will find unique shops and restaurants, including more than 25 outdoor patios to enjoy a quick coffee, leisurely lunch, or a gourmet dinner.
The weekend will feature lumberjack shows, Classic Movies on the Bay, a kid’s fishing derby, and the downtown Farmers’ Market. Canada Day would not be complete without the famous pancake breakfast, Citizenship Reaffirmation Ceremony, and gigantic Canada Day birthday cake.
The Collingwood Optimist Club presents the 4th Annual Family Bike Parade at 10 a.m. on Monday, July 1, starting at the Trott's Sports Excellence Parking lot and ending at the Collingwood Public Library. Decorate your bike for Canada Day and ride down Hurontario Street. A prize will be awarded for the best decorated.
On Monday, July 1, there will be an amazing fireworks display at 10 p.m. The best views of the fireworks are from Millennium Park, but the Shipyards’ Amphitheatre, or anywhere along the Waterfront Promenade, will not disappoint!
Bring the family to celebrate Canada’s birthday at the Collingwood Festival for Canada!
