Canada Day in Mission BC in 2026
Canada Day festivities in Mission usually begin at around 8:00 am with a pancake breakfast hosted by the local Rotary Club at the park.
In the past, the party used to finish around 14 hours later, at 10:00 pm, with fireworks at the Mission Raceway. That hasn’t been the case the last few years, however. Now, there are no fireworks and everything happens at Fraser River Heritage Park. It’s still a great small-town community event, though, and admission is free.
Where and When
Canada Day celebrations take place at Mission’s Fraser River Heritage Park. The venue’s address is 7494 Mary Street. Activities run from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm, plus there is a pancake breakfast starting at 8:00 am. Mission itself is located in the Fraser Valley on the north side of the Fraser River from Abbotsford.
