The Halifax Regional Municipality regrets to inform the general public that, due to the heavy fog in Halifax harbour and the uncertain weather forecast, the organizers of Canada Day have postponed the harbour firworks until the Natal Day Weekend, when we will host an even more spectacular fireworks show in the harbour. Happy Canada Day.
Join us for KANA’TA: Canada Day celebrations on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. This re-envisioned format for Canada Day offers a variety of new and refreshed cultural, musical, and family-oriented events to enjoy.
Developed in close collaboration with Indigenous communities, KANA’TA: Canada Day 2025 offers programming that honours the traditions of the Mi’kmaw Nation and celebrates pan-Indigenous communities that call the municipality home.
The programming will include the Mawio’mi on the Halifax Waterfront, a Dartmouth Festival Series free concert, a Multi-Stage experience on the Halifax Waterfront featuring multiple genres of music and at night the July 1 Fireworks Show returns.
KANA’TA: Canada Day 2025 will partner with The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 to offer free admission as well as a daytime block party this year. The Halifax Citadel National Historic site will also offer free admission on Tuesday, July 1 as well.
