Canada is still turning 159 on July 1, but we’re going to celebrate the nation’s birthday at Hollinger Park! Daytime Canada Day activities will now take place at Hollinger Park. The evening fireworks display will remain at Gillies Lake Conservation Area.
Join us for a full day of family fun at Hollinger Park with live entertainment, delicious food, inflatables, and activities for all ages. Then head to Gillies Lake for a spectacular fireworks display over the water.
Why the move? After careful consideration, Hollinger Park is the better fit for this year’s event. The Park provides more space for food trucks, improved accessible parking and mobility options, and plenty of room for inflatables and activities. Plus, the splash pad will be open!
The celebration begins at 2:00 p.m. at Hollinger Park, with live local music starting at 4:00 p.m. McIntyre Catering will be firing up the grill with complimentary hamburgers, hotdogs, a vegetarian option, and bottled water while supplies last.
Just after sunset, around 9:45 p.m., fireworks will light up the night sky over Gillies Lake. Arrive early and find your spot along the shoreline.
Plan ahead. There are a number of free parking options available a short distance from both Hollinger Park and Gillies Lake. On July 1, free on-street parking will be available at all municipal meters and City lots including, the Spruce N. Lot, Algonquin Lot, Third Ave. Lot, Pine S. Lot, Library Lot, and Coalition Lot (Timmins Transit).
The Hollinger Park parking lot will be reserved for accessible parking and passenger pick-up/drop-off, with a limited number of spaces available. The parking lot off Hwy. 655 will also be closed from 6:00 a.m. on June 30 through July 1 to allow for fireworks set-up and display.
