Canada Day

Canada Day Celebrations 2026

Each year on July 1, the Town of Olds celebrates Canada Day providing activities, entertainment, food and celebration for citizens, surrounding communities, visitors and distinguished guests! 

Festivities include a morning parade on the streets of Uptowne Olds followed by activities and family events at Centennial Park. Activities change each year but often include live music, special guests, bouncy castles, Canada Day swag and cookie give aways and a vendor market.

In the case of inclement weather, do not fear, the Sportsplex is near!!! On occasion we have had to move the celebration indoors to the Olds Sportsplex so we encourage visitors to follow our Canada Day Facebook Page for the most up to date information!
