The City of Williams Lake’s Annual Canada Day celebration is moving back to Boitanio Park in 2024.
The entire community is invited to attend the free celebration in the park, happening on Monday, July 1, 2024 with activities from 2 to 5 pm as we recognize Canada’s 157th birthday.
“We are excited to be moving the event back to Boitanio Park after several years of using Kiwanis Park and the spray park there, but a larger space in Boitanio Park allows for more opportunities to feature a wider range of activities, entertainers, food vendors and a vendor marketplace,” said Emma Davidson, Child and Youth Recreation Program Coordinator. “Canada Day is always a popular event and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone out and coming together to celebrate all that makes our nation special on its birthday.”
Opening remarks from local dignitaries, including a welcome to traditional Secwepemc territory, will kick off the festivities at 2 pm sharp.
Quintet Plus will open the lineup of musical entertainers at 2:15 pm on the Gwen Ringwood Stage, with performances to follow every 45 minutes from Troe Weston and David Bell, and Cariboo Accordion Circle. The Williams Lake Community Band will be closing out the show with the final performance at 4:30 pm. DJ and MC services will be provided by In a Chord Music.
Other activities will include Red Pony Bull Riding, bouncy castles, a slip ‘n’ slide, disc golf, mega games, multicultural arts and crafts celebrating Canada’s diversity, food vendors, market vendors, giveaways and much more.
“Canada Day is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our country and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone in beautiful Boitanio Park,” Williams Lake Mayor Surinderpal Rathor said. “On behalf of City of Williams Lake Council and staff, I’d like to wish everyone a very happy Canada Day!”
The City thanks the Government of Canada for its support through the Celebrate Canada program to help host the event.
