Canada Day is packed with family-friendly celebrations across Ottawa, Gatineau and nearby towns! From downtown festivities and free museum admission to local community parties, kids’ zones, live music, BBQs, markets and fireworks, there are lots of free ways to celebrate with the kids.

I also created a separate Canada Day guide with the full list of celebrations, including Ottawa neighbourhood events and nearby towns like Gatineau, Almonte, Carleton Place, Kemptville, Brockville, Perth, Rockland, Arnprior and more. See the full Canada Day Free Family Events Guide
