Canada Day Celebrations
Monday, Jul 1, 2024
The Vernon Okanagan Inspired Community Events (VOICE) Society would like to invite everyone to join us in Polson Park to celebrate our community on July 1st, in a spectacular day filled with exciting activities, performances, and attractions for all ages!
Our festivities will begin at 10 AM with the kids skate competition, followed by live performances starting at 12:30 PM and continuing through the evening, culminating in a breathtaking drone show, the first ever in the Okanagan starting at 10PM.
Kick off the day with lively performances from the Kalamalka Highlanders and the Sadok Ukrainian Dancers. Their vibrant, cultural displays will set the perfect tone for a day of community and celebration.
Explore the Polson Artisan Market, where local artists and craftspeople will showcase their unique creations. It's a great opportunity to find one-of-a-kind items and support our local artisans.
For food enthusiasts, our food truck garden will feature a diverse selection of delicious options. Whether you're craving savory snacks or sweet treats, there's something for everyone.
Car lovers won't want to miss the mini car show, presented by the Cruise-In Car Club. Check out an array of stunning vehicles and chat with fellow enthusiasts about your favorites.
Families and kids are in for a special treat with Karen the animatronic dinosaur making an appearance from the Okanagan Science Centre. This interactive and educational experience will captivate audiences of all ages.
The Okanagan Skate Co. will be hosting their skateboarding competitions, with the kids series at 10 AM and the adults starting at 5 PM.
We'll have a wide variety of other local organizations from the community coming down to set up booths and feature their love of the community as well.
To cap off the evening, we are thrilled to present the first ever drone show in the Okanagan. Watch in awe as 250 drones light up the sky in a 15-minute performance that promises to be a highlight of the day. This show is made possible by Tourism Vernon, Black and MacDonald, and the City of Vernon.
