ADMISSION BY DONATION

About the Lynden Canada Day

For over 25 years Lynden Canada Day has been a wonderful day of family fun, community pride and patriotism. Lynden Canada Day is a not-for-profit event organized by a committee of unpaid volunteers from Lynden and surrounding neighbourhoods. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, the City of Hamilton’s Community Partnership Program, the Lynden Lions and donations from the day’s delighted visitors, we raise all the funds required to run the day. As a result of that generosity, the entire day - all activities & games, live entertainment, and the best fireworks show in the area - is entirely free for our community’s families. We think that’s a tradition worth continuing!

While no admission is charged to the afternoon activities or the evening fireworks display, donations are gratefully accepted at the gate to defray the expenses of the day. All proceeds are put toward community events.

All the Fun in One Celebration

Parade

The day starts at 3 pm with a colourful parade which works its way down the main street through the village, finishing up at the Lion's Park.

Face Painting

Face painting, cow patty bingo, children's games, adult draws, magician and balloon twisting are just some of the fun activities to do in the park!

Antique Cars

Bring your classic, custom, rat rod, etc. and show it off! A shady area of the park will be reserved for you to display and relax during the Canada Day celebrations.
