With the pandemic still on the rise, it’s no surprise that Canada Day 2020 is going to be a little different this year. Instead of the usual gathering for fireworks, the GTA will be celebrating the country’s 153rd birthday virtual style.

Even though large outdoor gatherings are still prohibited, that certainly doesn’t dampen the Canadian spirit. The live stream viewers can expect a full-day programming of music, dance and virtual fireworks. There’s also plenty of activities planned by the city for those of you looking to go out and soak in the sun.

Here’s a list of all that’s going down for Canada Day:

Performances from a variety of artists like Gordon Lightfoot, Jully Black, Ali Hassan, The Next Generation Leahy and many more.
15-minute light show by the CN Tower which will be live on their website.
