Canada Day By The Lake returns to John Peake Memorial Park next week.
On July 1, residents are invited to make it out to the lake for a day of free fun, entertainment, and community spirit.
The event begins at 9 a.m. with a pancake breakfast, free for the first 2,000 guests. Following breakfast, there will be live stage performances leading up to noon.
The city will be serving cake at 1 p.m. before the Kids Zone opens two hours later, offering wagon rides, games, face painting, balloons, and caricatures. An artisan market will also be running at the same time alongside several local food trucks.
The event will end with a fireworks show over the lake set for 10:45 p.m.
Other performances include Jaiden Riley and Mark Allan, Camie Leard Band, and Follow the Rabbit. There will also be remarks from Mayor Shannon Dean, city council, and Chestermere-Strathmore MLA Chantelle de Jonge.
A beer garden will also be at the event from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Boat launch and park access will be closed during the event, with the event running in the city for several years.
