Celebrate Canada Day 2025 in Parksville

Free Family Fun at Parksville’s Canada Day Celebrations

We have an amazing family-friendly day planned to bring together our region’s residents and visitors to celebrate Canada Day in Parksville.

Canada Day fun kicks off with the Shriner’s pancake breakfast, then the popular Parksville Canada Day parade followed by activities in the Parksville Community Park. The Parksville Outdoor Theatre will feature all Vancouver Island bands from noon to 6.30 pm – Mount Arrowsmith Pipe Band, Time Well Wasted, Sarah Smith, and The Joints. From 1 pm to 9 pm, activities and live music at the waterfront gazebo and gathering plaza. The day will also feature a food truck festival.

We’re celebrating Canada’s 158th, the City of Parksville’s 80th birthday and recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Mount Arrowsmith Pipe Band. We look forward to coming together on Canada Day to celebrate and shine a light on our country and whatever it is that makes you proud!
