Summer is upon us, and that means it’s time to celebrate! Canada Day, coming up on July 1st, is a great opportunity to get together with family and friends, enjoy the beautiful weather, and show off your Canadian pride.

But parties don’t have to be all the same. If you’re looking for something unique and special to give your celebration an edge, then you’ve come to the right place!

How do people throw a Canada Day party?

You can celebrate Canada day by setting it up in a web series, making treats with Canada day theme, watch Canadian great movies or light the night with some fireworks.

You can also get creative with decorations by making your own using items you have lying around the home. 

For example, you can take some red or white paint and draw maple leafs or use curling ribbon to make a red and white paper chain.

1. Join The Canada Day Parade

You can’t truly Canada Day without attending or watching the Canada Day Parade. This traditional event that’s enjoyed by Canadians of all ages is one of the highlights of this special occasion. 

Whether you live in a big city or small town, many communities will host local parades with floats, music, and marching bands that make it an exciting celebration to attend.

With masks in tow make sure to head out early to get the best spots along the parade route. Be sure to cheer on any sports teams, clubs, and charities that are part of the festivities. 

If you choose to watch the parade online instead of in person, you don’t have to miss out—many city parades are streamed virtually so you can still be part of the Canada Day party!

2. Do Creative Canada Day-Themed Body-Painting

One unique and fun activity is to do creative body painting to match the festive atmosphere of Canada Day. This activity not only encourages participation, but it also helps people to get in the spirit of Canada Day.

Other fun ideas that you can also paint are Maple syrup bottles, RCMP uniform, and snowflakes which can get everyone excited about celebrating Canada Day in style!

By putting a twist on traditional “face-painting” activities, you can add more fun to your celebration. Plus, it’s the perfect way for everyone at your party to show their Canada Day pride in style!

3. Decorate the Room With a Canadian Theme

Transform your party room with some Canadian flair! This is the perfect opportunity to get imaginative with some festive decorations. Throw a Canadian-themed evening by featuring aspects of the country like history, culture and wilderness.

1. Canadian Flag

No celebration is complete without flying Canada’s iconic red and white flags. Raising of the Canadian flag is an important part of any Canada Day celebration. 

It’s a way to show your pride and loyalty to your home country and to show you’re celebrating with them. 

There’s no need for complex ceremonies or formalities—it can be as simple as gathering friends and family around the flagpole, saying a few words about Canada, singing the national anthem and hoisting the flag.

2. Indigenous Artwork

You can decorate your space with Indigenous artwork or trappings from tribes historically present in Canada. Doing this is a great way to pay tribute to Canada’s diverse culture and people. 

You can adorn your walls with dreamcatchers, totem poles and other traditional tribal items.

3. Maple Leaf Décor

Nothing screams “Canada Day” more than the symbol of this nation: its beloved maple leaf flag! You can make custom garlands or choose from a range of ready-made options featuring its iconic shape crafted from fabric, paper, or burlap. 

You can also arrange maple leaves into beautiful centerpieces with ribbons or small flags.

4. Try Creative Culinary Delights

You could start off by having a ‘Canada vs. World’ meal plan, with dishes representing each country around the world. This will add a unique twist to your party and have everyone guessing what dish comes from where!

Furthermore, you could include some classic Canadian recipes such as tourtière or Nanaimo bars; these will give everyone a taste of home. For something a bit more creative and festive you could try traditional dishes from different provinces – for example, Alberta beef or seafood from Nova Scotia.

For those who want to keep things easy yet exciting, you can also find cool Canadian-inspired desserts like Poutine and BeaverTails. You can even bake and design cakes by using the official Canadian colors – red, white and leaf green.

By looking at traditional recipes from across Canada and other countries around the world, you can come up with creative ways to serve delicious food at your special Canada Day party!

5. Schedule an Outdoor Adventure Activity

If you’re looking for something a bit more daring to do on Canada Day, why not schedule an outdoor adventure activity? It’s a fun way to spend the day with family and friends, and you can choose a variety of activities, like kayaking or camping. 

You could even organize a paintball tournament or a fishing trip! No matter what activity you choose, make sure it’s something that everyone in the group will enjoy. 

You can also make it a safe activity by ensuring everyone has the proper safety gear and is familiar with the activity instructions.

The great outdoors is a perfect setting for some classic lawn games. If you have access to a pool or lake, then why not see who can swim the fastest or have a game of water volleyball?

Moreover, no party is complete without some delicious food! When the weather’s hot, there’s nothing better than gathering around for a BBQ. Set up your grill and invite everyone to bring their own food to cook up. And don’t forget the buns and condiments!

6. Host a Canada Day Party

One of the best ways to celebrate Canada day is by throwing a party! It’s a great way to get together with friends and family, share your Canadian pride and have a great time. 

You can host a barbecue party as Canada Day isn’t complete without some delicious grilled food! From hot dogs, burgers, and vegetables to more classic Canadian dishes like poutine, everyone will be sure to have something they love.

You can also have a Canada trivia night where you can test your Canadian pride with a fun-filled game of trivia. You just need to prepare your own questions or look online for quizzes that cover everything from Canadian landmarks to sports teams and politics.

Lastly, you can celebrate the night away with the classic Canada Day traditions of fireworks! Depending on local restrictions, you can host an outdoor display of your own or watch public fireworks from afar.

7. Put on a Canadian Movie Marathon

Another better way to celebrate Canada day is with a Canadian movie marathon. From comedies like “Strange Brew” and “The Barenaked Ladies’ Biggish Adventure” to award-winning films like “Bon Cop Bad Cop,” there are so many iconic films made by Canadian filmmakers that you can choose from.
