Options abound on Canada Day, but one thing unites—Canadians love to toast our great country in the great outdoors. Herewith, Canada Day for the extrovert and the introvert:
Wander over to Granville Island for a pancake breakfast, live jazz, and a South Asian cultural extravaganza (traditional dances! Bollywood fashion! ethnic food!). Or hit up the street festival at Canada Place from 10-7. Parades (starts at 7pm, Georgia and Broughton Streets) aren’t your speed? Head to Richmond for a classic: the Steveston Salmon Festival, boasting over 500 kilos of wild salmon filets grilled over open fire pits. Round it all off with the Burrard Inlet fireworks show at 10:30 p.m. and your thirst for crowds has been thoroughly quenched.
If you just want to unwind at a slower pace, Jonah and Andrew Benton of Benton Brothers’ Fine Cheese have put together a shopping list—and pairings—for your perfect Canada Day picnic basket. Load up your iPod with Blue by Joni Mitchell (for your inner patriot), grab a basket, a blanket, your favorite Anthropologie melamine dishware, and you’re all set to mellow out al fresco.
