CANADA DAY

Join us to celebrate Canada Day in Abbotsford on Wednesday, July 1, 2026.

This year’s Canada Day theme, Roots & Rhythm, celebrates the heartbeat of our community — where deep cultural roots meet the shared rhythms that bring us together. We invite participants to honor the traditions, stories, and histories that ground us, while showcasing the music, movement, and energy that reflect our vibrant, diverse City of Abbotsford.
