Celebrate Canada Day on July 1, 2025!

Whitby Canada Day Fireworks

Come Celebrate your Canadian pride with the Town of Whitby on July 1!

This year, join us for an unforgettable evening of fireworks and a hub of food trucks.

Re-imagining our event, due to ongoing harbour remediation, our 2025 event focuses on what attendees love most – An incredible fireworks show! And this year will be the largest in Durham Region!

What to expect:

Pre-fireworks - come early with your family and friends to secure that perfect viewing spot. Don’t forget to bring:
- A picnic, or enjoy a variety of food trucks on-site or visit local restaurants.
- Games, blankets, and chairs to relax and celebrate your Canadian pride.
Fireworks will begin at dusk (approx. 10 p.m.) – sit back and enjoy Durham’s largest fireworks display!

Please Note: Parking and viewing areas at the south end of Victoria Fields will be affected due to ongoing harbour remediation.
