Description

Named one of the top 20 festivals in Metro Vancouver by Business in Vancouver, Coquitlam Celebrates Canada Day is a community festival with live music and entertainment, food, beverages, family activities and fireworks. Recognizing Canada’s 150th anniversary, there will be a special focus on Canadian music this year, including the Soundtrack Canada tribute to Canadian singers and songwriters and a Canadian-themed battle of the bands headlining act featuring Off the Record and The Ticket. Audience members will vote for their favourite, and both bands will lead the singing of O Canada before the fireworks finale. This free festival will kick off in Town Centre Park at 12 p.m. with a procession that starts at the park’s east entrance on Community Drive, winds through the festival grounds and ends at the Plaza Stage. TD Bank Group recently signed on as the corporate partner for the Plaza Stage, which will host a variety of dance and musical performances starting at noon.
