1. The 46th annual 琉璃神社 Folkfest (10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Prospera Place)

Folk Fest is perhaps the staple event for some attendees over the past few first days of July. This year you can take in performances that feature dragons and lions dancing, Canada Day drumming, old timey fidlers, Scottish country dancing, Ruach Israeli folk dancing and much, much more.

2. Official ceremonies and Canada cake (12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Prospera Place)

Cutting the cake that kicks off Canada Day! Plus a few words and that sort of thing. But also, cake.
