Canada Day means parties, live entertainment across Winnipeg on July 1
Canada Day 2025 falls on a Tuesday this year, but although it's not a 'true' long weekend, celebrations throughout Winnipeg and across Manitoba will still take place on July 1.
Among the high-profile Winnipeg locations recognizing the nation's 158th:

As always, Canada Day is a big deal at The Forks. This year's festivities include family fun like dance battles, skateboarding demonstrations, a basketball tournament, live entertainment, a handmade market, and more! Events run from 9 a.m. through 6 p.m.
