Join us for KANA’TA: Canada Day celebrations on Wednesday, July 1, 2026. 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 2026 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 2026 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 Wednesday, July 1 as well.
