Canada Day 2015 Maple Leaf Celebrations

13 Capital City Celebrations Across this Great Country on July 1st, 2015.

Enjoying any opportunity to raise the flag proudly

13 provinces and territories will be celebrating Canada Day across our great country on July 1st, 2015. The Capital City in each region, in many cases, throws the biggest party. So we thought we would provide a cheat sheet to the many events surrounding Canada Day Celebrations in each Capital City for each province and territory. If you are in the vicinity, get your Maple Leaf on and head down to the festivities and show off your Canadian pride. Remember, we love photos about Canada so please share them with us at #CanadaTravel on Facebook, Twitter, Google + and Pinterest.

If travel time is not on your side then make sure to head down to your local community celebrations and cheer on Canada.

Quebec
Capital City : Quebec City (Montreal is destination of choice)

In Quebec it is a bit different than the other provinces across the country as the best Canada Day 2015 celebrations tend to be in Montreal and not in the Capital of Quebec City. Montreal tends to show their National pride better than Quebec City throwing a bigger and better party with a host of activities during the day and capping off with fireworks at night.
