How to Do Canada Day in Calgary

Why we like it: Aside from being the perfect picnic spot, there are two great events to enjoy at Prince's Island Park. The First Nations Powwow runs the full day and lets visitors explore native heritage through storytelling, dancing, drumming and more, hosted by Bow Valley College's Iniikokaan Aboriginal Centre. Then, wearing your red and white, head to the Living Flag by Calgary AfterSchool to join in a giant photo, happening from 11 am to 12 pm. The first 3,000 people to take part receive a free t-shirt.
