Parliament Hill
There's no question that everyone should experience Parliament Hill on the big day at least once. The crowds are crazy (strollers not recommended, bring lots of water), but we love it anyway for the tradition of the Changing of the Guard, the groove of the noon hour concert (this year headlined by family favourite Magic!), and the power of the Snowbirds soaring overhead. If you arrive early enough, you can even be part of a cool living Canadian Flag on Rideau Street, which gathers between 8 and 10 am.
