What is red and white and festive all day? It’s Canada Day, which is celebrated on July 1, 2025.
Formerly called Dominion Day, this holiday celebrates the British North America Act of 1867 when three colonies were combined into one dominion. In 1982 it was renamed Canada Day when Canada completed their independence from Great Britain. July 1, 2025, is the 158th anniversary of confederation.
Celebrations include concerts, the flying of flags, face painting in red and white (the colors of the Canadian flag), pancake breakfasts, parades, fireworks, picnics and other activities. Canada.ca offers information and links for ceremonies, fireworks and more.
