Canada Day Celebrations

Celebrate Canada Day in Merritt – A Day of Fun, Community, and Celebration!

Get ready to kick off Canada Day with a jam-packed community celebration full of energy, laughter, and local spirit! Taking place in the heart of Merritt on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, this family-friendly event promises an unforgettable day of outdoor fun and festive vibes.

The celebration begins with a burst of excitement as the Radical Run Obstacle Course invites kids and adults alike to race, climb, and bounce their way through a high-energy inflatable challenge. Feeling adventurous? Test your aim at the inflatable axe throw—a safe and hilarious way to unleash your inner lumberjack.

Younger guests will delight in face painting booths and the whimsical creations of balloon artists scattered throughout the park, while bouncy castles provide hours of jumping joy. Add in the scent of fresh popcorn, sizzling snacks from local food vendors, and cold drinks from community concessions, and you’ve got a full day of entertainment and indulgence.

Live music will set the tone for the celebration with a high-energy performance from the Doug James Band, bringing classic rock and toe-tapping rhythms to the main stage. Don’t forget your lawn chair or picnic blanket—this is a show you won’t want to miss.

One of the highlights of the day is the Bike Parade, where kids can decorate their bikes in patriotic red and white and ride through the park for a chance to win fun prizes. It’s a great way for families to participate and show their Canadian spirit!
