Canada’s biggest party isn’t going to feature an A-list headliner like some expected, but rather an array of Canadian artists ranging from Alessia Cara to Gordon Lightfoot to entertain the thousands who will fill the capital for the three-day Canada Day weekend bash.

The lineup for the Canada Day 150 party was unveiled Thursday at the Sir John A. Macdonald Building on Wellington Street where Heritage Minister Mélanie Joly announced event details.

From June 30 to July 2, activities and performances will take place at Parliament Hill, the Canadian Museum of History and Major’s Hill Park, Joly said, adding that, for the first time, the celebrations will include a 360-degree fireworks display.

Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, will also be on the Hill on July 1 to mark Canada’s 150th birthday.
