Live Music All Day

Riverside Park: 29 Reuben Cres, Kemptville, ON

Following opening ceremonies at 11am, musicians such as Derek McKinley, Arthur McGregor, and Caitlin Thorne will have your whole family dancing and singing into the afternoon. The evening’s musicians will have you gearing up for the big firework finale! Great sounds coming from Roxy’s Proxy, Ottawa Valley Hall of Famer Jamie McMunn, then rounding out the night with the Canadian Cowboys!

The day will begin with the Legion Pipe Band and flag raising, with the national anthem being led by local singer and songwriter, Anya Perry. We're excited to welcome local brothers Jacob and Ben Matte, members of The Family Name. The final performance will be by Jessica Pearson and the East Wind, who will have you swaying along with the trees overhead.

Fun for the whole family

Face-painting (Riverside & Maplewood)

Dreamed of being a mouse, cat, or spiderman? Face-painters will be onsite to make those dreams as close to reality as possible. These creative artists will have you ready to celebrate Canada Day properly in no time!

Inflatables (Riverside)

Have a hoppin’ good time on the bouncy castles or try your luck with inflatable games. The air-centric fun doesn’t have to end there – in fact, you can take it home with you! A balloon artist will be on site to twist and turn a balloon into (almost) anything.

Pool & Splashpad

Don’t forget to pack the swimwear and floaties so you can take a refreshing (and free!) dip in the Kemptville Pool or a quick run through the new splashpad! Accessible parking on site, with roadside parking, and overflow parking on neighbouring streets.
