Okay, so you know you want to celebrate Canada’s birthday in Canada’s capital. Eventually, you have to choose exactly what to do. It’s not an easy decision, but we’ve tried to help by summarizing the activities right here.

Go downtown


Downtown Ottawa will be full of fun from morning ‘til night. There is plenty to see and admission is free for all of it:

  • Changing of the Guard
  • Concerts at Parliament Hill, Major’s Hill Park and the Canadian Museum of History
  • Free galleries at City Hall
  • The ByWard Market
  • Fireworks

Plus… admission is free at these museums on Canada Day:

  • National Gallery of Canada
  • Canadian Museum of Nature
  • Canadian War Museum
  • Canadian Museum of History

Your best strategy to get to and from downtown Ottawa on July 1 is with OC Transpo.
