Due to the prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic, event components for Canada Day 2021 are under review. Check back for updates.
Canada Day in Port Hope is a party! We're a small town with big community pride. Join us July 1 for all the fun and fireworks.
Celebrate with a traditional parade and fantastic fireworks over the lake
Pipes and drums, vintage cars and flag-waving floats head down our main street in the annual Canada Day parade to Memorial Park downtown. It's the site for more celebrations – live music in the bandshell, a bouncy castle for the kids, a classic car show, great barbecue and a beer garden.
Port Hope likes a party!
Even the Mayor likes to be on hand to pass out pieces of birthday cake. At dusk, Port Hope lights up the sky with spectacular musical fireworks over the lake. Come bring your lawn chairs and blankets to the East Beach for this free and fabulous show!
For more outdoor fun, visit Port Hope for the Arts Festival in August, Cultivate in September and the one and only Float Your Fanny Down the Ganny River Race in April.
