City of Abbotsford unveils list of Canada Day festivities
ABBOTSFORD — The City of Abbotsford says it has released more information about the city’s Canada Day festivities at Abbotsford Exhibition Park set for July 1.
According to a news release from the city, this year’s event is being produced by Tourism Abbotsford, in partnership with the City, and promises to be a fun and entertaining all-ages celebration.
The daylong event will feature a parade, family festival, live community entertainment, multi-cultural themed food trucks and more. Tourism Abbotsford is working with local artists and community partners to put together a fun, high-energy program, thanks in part to funding provided by the Government of Canada.
The celebration will get underway with the annual parade down South Fraser Way and will be followed by a free family festival at Abbotsford Exhibition Park marked by interactive play zones and activities, mini golf, tractor rides and more. The event will also feature the Dogwood Pacesetters dog show, live performances, a community showcase and, weather permitting, a fireworks show finale at dusk.
