Everyone’s Canadian on Canada Day—and there’s no better place to celebrate than at the beach! This July 1 from 12 pm to 10:30 pm, head to West Beach and Memorial Park for a full day of festivities by the waterfront. The area will be buzzing with live music, roving entertainers, and family-friendly beachside fun.
This free annual event features an interactive Kids Zone filled with family-friendly excitement including face painting, games and crafts, and an interactive music booth, plus a Soccer Zone, where you can play a quick game of one-on-one. Families can also stroll the promenade and explore the vibrant Vendor Marketplace, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. just west of the White Rock Museum.
