Iconic classic rock band Trooper and breakout artist Francesco Yates are just a few of the highlights at this year's Canada Day Celebration on July 1 #UWCanadaDay
Friday, July 1, 2016 marks the 32nd annual University of Waterloo Canada Day Celebration in partnership with our Federation of Students. We’re building another exceptional event to thank our community for its support, and hope to see upwards of 60,000 regional residents on campus, sharing their national and Warrior pride.
The family fun begins at 4 p.m. with on-field activations, interactive activities, and live children’s entertainment by the award-winning musical duo, Splash’N Boots. Kids won’t want to miss seeing them light up the TVOKids Stage presented by TVOKids host, Kara.
Trooper, Splash'N Boots and Francesco Yates will be performing at University of Waterloo's Canada Day celebration.
Outstanding Canadian talent will headline our evening concert on the OpenText Stage, featuring 19-year-old breakout artist, Francesco Yates, and classic rock icons, Trooper. Joining our national acts will be regional favourites, KW Glee, and Country 106.7 morning show hosts, Mike Farwell and Jennifer Campbell.
Families can explore a number of activities from face painting and arts and crafts, to inflatable obstacle courses. Get snapped in our Canada Day photo booth, catch on-field performances, cool off on the University of Waterloo Engineering Society water slide, or even have your caricature done. Everyone can fill up on tasty festival treats from a variety of local food vendors, and adults can relax and enjoy a refreshing break in our beer garden.
The spectacular fireworks display starts at approximately 10 p.m.
The University of Waterloo is proud to host Waterloo region’s flagship Canada Day Celebration. Join us on July 1 at Columbia Lake Fields and share your national pride with #UWCanadaDay.
