Webcam at Canada Day Celebrations in Vancouver

Canada Day Carnival at the Port of Vancouver

Vancouver's waterfront turns into a seething patriotic mass of smiley faces and fluttering red and white flags on 1 July, Canada Day, every year. Head to Canada Place to watch polished dance shows on stages and the passing Canada Day Parade.

We have a live webcam view over the Port of Vancouver, enabling you to keep track of the festivities live.

Canada Day, formerly Dominion Day, is Canada's national day, a federal statutory holiday celebrating the anniversary of the July 1, 1867, enactment of the British North America Act (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united two British colonies and a province of the British Empire into a single country called Canada. Canada Day observances take place throughout Canada as well as internationally.
