Montreal Fireworks Festival
The Montreal Fireworks Festival (L’International des Feux Loto-Québec) is the biggest fireworks festival in the world, averaging 3 million spectators every summer. Competing teams of world-class technicians present a series of 30-minute pyro-musical displays of fireworks synchronized to a musical score. The spectacular scene illuminates the night sky over La Ronde, a Six Flags amusement park that has hosted the festival since 1985. Crowds also line the banks of the St. Lawrence River and the Jacques Cartier Bridge to view the show.
The Calgary Stampede
Billed as “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,” the world-famous Calgary Stampede is a 10-day celebration of Western Canadian heritage and culture, which is attended by more than 1.2 million people every July. The event, today comprising a rodeo, exhibition and festival, has taken place in Calgary, Alberta, as a fair since 1884 and a stampede since 1912. The world’s best cowboys, bulls and steers compete in the rodeo, making it a major draw for crowds. Another highlight is the evening grandstand event featuring chuck-wagon racing, an epic stage show, country music headliners and more. The stampede also offers a parade, band competitions, and the “Midway Unleashed” with extreme rides and activities like rock-climbing and axe-throwing.

Winterlude is a celebration of Canada’s northern climate and culture, created in 1979 by the Department of Canadian Heritage and held annually in two locations: Confederation Park in Ottawa, Ontario, and Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau, Quebec. In Ottawa, the Winterlude celebrations also extend down the Rideau Canal, which, during the 18-day festival, becomes the world’s largest skating rink, running almost 5 miles through downtown. Vendors along the rink offer skate rentals and warm drinks. Both Winterlude celebrations feature giant ice slides, ice-carving demonstrations, snow sculptures and snow playgrounds, all illuminated at night for a magical winter wonderland atmosphere.
