Canada Day in Owen Sound is a free, family‑friendly celebration held on July 1st at Kelso Beach at Nawash Park that brings the community together to honour Canada’s birthday with a full day of activities, entertainment and festivities.
Starting (gates open) at 10 a.m., the celebration features children’s activities, pony rides, dog shows throughout the day, big water canoe rides, games, music and entertainers, plus food trucks, marketplace vendors, and community booths for people of all ages to enjoy. In the evening, there’s usually a main stage concert with local performers and speakers, concluding with a spectacular fireworks display over the Owen Sound harbour around 10 p.m. to cap off the day.
It’s a festive, outdoor celebration that’s become a highlight of the summer in Owen Sound—perfect for families, friends and visitors to enjoy food, music, activities and community spirit while celebrating Canada’s national holiday.
