Host your own Canada Day Celebration

While the official events are fantastic, Canada Day is also a perfect opportunity to gather with your friends and family for a smaller celebration. Here are some ideas for hosting your own Canada Day party in Brampton:

Barbecue

Fire up the grill and invite your loved ones for a barbecue. Grill up some crowd-friendly food like juicy burgers, snappy hot dogs, and chicken. If you want your party to feel extra, decorate your home, balcony or yard with red and white balloons and flags. Don't forget to blast some Canadian classics like The Tragically Hip, Rush, Metric, Arcade Fire, Finger Eleven, and the Barenaked Ladies to set the mood!

Potluck

Take the pressure off of feeding a crowd by hosting a potluck in your home or at the park. Ask each guest to bring a dish to share, perhaps with a Canadian twist. Think Nanaimo bars, butter tarts, red and white cupcakes or a summer salad featuring tomatoes and bocconcini cheese.

Play games

Play some Canada Day-themed games. You can organize a friendly game of beanbag toss with maple leaf targets, have a Canada trivia contest, or get creative with some red and white crafts. For the kids (and the young at heart), set up a water balloon toss or a sprinkler to beat the summer heat.

Get around town

The long weekend is the perfect time to explore some of Brampton's top attractions. Pack a picnic and head to Heart Lake Conservation Area for a hike or to spend some time by the water. Visit the Peel Art Gallery, Museum and Archives (PAMA) to learn more about the region's history.
