Pitt Meadows Canada Day Celebrations

Spirit Square on Canada Day

Pitt Meadows celebrates Canada Day with a series of events on July 1st. There is food, music, classic cars, a dog show, pancake breakfast and more.

Canada Day at Pitt Meadows is a fun event for people in the community. If you don’t go to this one, other July 1st events you might want to check out include the ones in Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam, Fort Langley and Surrey (the last of which is the largest in Western Canada).

 

 

Canada Day in Pitt Meadows

The town of Pitt Meadows hosts Canada Day Celebrations each year in the morning and early afternoon. There aren’t big evening performances and fireworks shows like in other cities, but instead some smaller-scale entertainment. It’s a fun community event.

At the event you can expect around 2,000 people who come to enjoy the live entertainment, food and artisan vendors while ringing in another anniversary for our country.

 

Event Location

All of the festivities take place at šxʷhék̓ʷnəs, or Spirit Square, located at 11985 Harris Road. It’s right next to City Hall.

In 2024 the activities and entertainment were scheduled to take place from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. The event is entirely free for all to enjoy.
