Live music, glow party, fireworks and more planned for Canada Day

North Grenville will celebrate Canada Day in style. Events run all day on July 1 at Riverside Park. The Kemptville District Community Association (KDCA), in partnership with the Municipality of North Grenville, organized the festivities. 

Canada Day kicks off with a community breakfast at the Royal Canadian Legion, starting at 8:00am. The Reptile Rainforest Roadshow, That Hunting Store’s Archery Booth and a water gun battle are set for 11:00am. A free public swim is happening at the Kemptville Pool at 12:30pm, followed by a free family swim at 1:45pm. 

KDCA President Wendy Embleton says there are some amazing bands lined up and the stage will be active from 11:00am to 10:00pm, when the fireworks start. 

The Rotary Club’s 2019 Canada Day parade is set for 4:00pm. There will be a glow party at the Pte. Blake Williamson Memorial Hall, starting at 7:00pm.  

Embleton says it’s going to be a beautiful day and organizers are hoping to see the park full of people.
