Barrhaven has events all day in Clarke Fields Park, including a crafts and activities tent for little ones, but the big draw is definitely the midway, so be sure to bring some spending money and be prepared to squeal the day away. There's also a multicultural stage, featuring Bollywood dancing, highland dancing, and martial arts, and a main stage where you can check out their legendary annual Battle of the Bands contest, which wraps up just as the fireworks start.
