Come and celebrate with us July 1, 2009. It’s a great way to spend a summer day with friends and family.

Celebrate Canada’s 142nd birthday with family and friends on Princes Island Park Wednesday, July 1st, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Island will be alive with music, live entertainment, food, and festivities. Three stages will be jam packed with live music and entertainment for all ages and interests.

But the festivities don’t end there. Join us in the evening at Olympic Plaza as we keep the party going with more food, entertainment and fireworks — a great ending to another fantastic birthday celebration!
