Celebrate Canada Day 2023 at The Forks with a Spectacular Drone Show πŸŽ†

The theme for Canada Day 2023 at The Forks is Finding our North Star, which reflects our collective journey of finding our way after a challenging year. The theme also honours the Indigenous star teachings that have guided generations of people across this land.

The festivities will start at 12 pm and run until 10:30 pm, with something for everyone to enjoy. Here are some of the highlights:

  • Watch a soccer game between two local teams on the field near the Canadian Museum for Human Rights
  • Grab a bite from one of the many food trucks or picnic tables on site, or visit The Forks Market for more dining options
  • Learn about the history and culture of The Forks through workshops and tours led by Indigenous elders and guides
