Set the mood for Canada Day with some great music at the Marr Residence (326 11th St. E). Starting at 2 p.m. the Concert in Marr Garden will feature Gypsy jazz music from Lorne Deighton and the Sons of Django — the event is free but don’t forget to bring along a lawn chair.

2. Food and Fireworks

It’s a full day of fun at Diefenbaker Park, beginning with a paid buffet breakfast from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. followed by cake, entertainment, citizenship ceremonies and food trucks galore. So, bring a picnic blanket or some chairs to enjoy the day, which is capped off with a huge fireworks presentation beginning at 10:40 p.m.

3. Salsa Dancing

If you would rather spend the evening doing something active, head down to River Landing from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. for the special Canada Day edition of Salsa by the River. Knowledge of salsa dancing is not necessary — just come willing to learn and have fun. You’ll even have time to catch the fireworks at Diefenbaker Park afterwards, if you hustle.
