2023 marks the 37th annual event at Canada Place at the Port of Vancouver, which has historically been the largest Canada Day celebration outside Ottawa.

The theme of the event will be “Weaving together the fabric of a nation,” which honours Canada’s diversity and marks the day as one for gathering, celebrating, learning and sharing. Weaving is a common activity across many cultures and is a metaphor for the way the beauty, strength, and wisdom from the past can combine through multiple perspectives to create something meaningful for today and tomorrow.

The gathering will feature a day of festivities, great food, family fun, and performances.

Event highlights will include:

• Performances: Incredible performances from acts including headliners Tegan and Sara, The Fugitives, Pat Chessell, and Murray Porter;
• North Point of Canada Place: Enjoy performances by local emerging artists including School of Rock Vancouver, Tayos, Michaela Slinger, and 24 Strings;
• Kids’ Zone presented by CN (Jack Poole Plaza): Family-friendly kids’ entertainers and activities, including the Rock N’ Beau Dance Party, the annual mascot dance-off, and performances from Mom Bop, Vancouver Performing Stars, and more.
  Citizenship Ceremony (North Point of Canada Place): At 9:30 a.m., Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada will host a citizenship ceremony where 30 new citizens will be welcomed into Canada’s multicultural family;
• Indigenous displays: Admire traditional weaving and carving displays by local artists from the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh nations;
• Food trucks: Experience the multi-cultural tastes of Canada with a variety of food trucks along Canada Place Way
