Everyone loves a birthday party, and there is no birthday party quite like Canada Day. Toronto is home to some of the most notable and enjoyable Canada Day celebrations for people of all ages and backgrounds. We’ve compiled a complete list of activities to help make your Toronto Canada Day 2019 the best one yet!
One of the quintessential parts of Canada Day is the free fireworks celebrations in neighbourhood parks around Toronto. Ashbridges Bay Park has a great day-long picnic finishing with fireworks. Another popular one is Downsview Park, where the party starts at around 4:00 p.m. and carries on until dusk with a spectacular fireworks display. Check out the free fireworks at Mel Lastman Square; festivities begin at 5:00 p.m.
Is there anything more fun on Canada Day than groovin’ outside to incredible live music? Take in Toronto’s vibrant Reggae scene at the Canadian Reggae Sunfest this Canada Day, located at Woodbine Mall in Etobicoke. You can purchase single-show tickets or day passes.
For a special Toronto Canada Day 2019 celebration, why not hit the water? Going for a cruise of Toronto’s harbour is a fun and unique way to celebrate Canada’s birthday. Several companies offer special Canada Day cruises, like Mariposa Cruises and Pioneer Cruises.
If you’ve got the time and inclination to head a little out of town for your Canada Day celebrations this year, consider Albion Hills Conservation Area, located just outside of Toronto in Caledon. It's worth the drive, as you can participate in archery lessons, tractor rides and wood carving demonstrations. There are a splash pad and swimming pool that the kids will love, as well as a hearty selection of food trucks for your refreshment and plenty of hiking trails around the park. The event ends with more Canada Day fireworks.
Do you love Ribs? Make plans to attend Toronto Ribfest in Centennial Park, which runs for the duration of the Canada Day long weekend.

Canada Day caps off with an impressive fireworks display.
Canada has 152 years of history to look back upon. Do you wonder what it was like for Canadians back in 1867? Participate in the “Party Like it is 1867” event at Black Creek Pioneer Village in North York. There will be musicians, theatrical performances and carnival games. There are hands-on exhibits to learn about what life was like in 1867. There is also a citizenship ceremony for new Canadians. Admission is free (there is a small charge for parking).

There are limited tickets available for purchase to tour the ships for each day of the festival.
