The Town of Banff in the middle of the majestic Canadian Rockies is the perfect place to celebrate Canada's birthday on July 1st of each year.

A typical Canada Day starts off with a pancake breakfast at Canada Place hosted by Parks Canada.  Entertainment starts back downtown at Central Park with all day entertainment on the Louis Trono Gazebo and Stampede stages.

The 2010 Parade runs the length of Banff Avenue starting promptly at 5:00 p.m.  After the parade, head back to Central Park for an evening of great entertainment.  Performances run until 11:00 P.M. when the day’s events end with our always spectacular fireworks show.

Remember that entry into Banff National Park is free on July 1st.

Parking in the townsite is limited, so plan accordingly. Please take advantage of our Roam public transit bus system to get you around town.
