What's on in Jasper for Canada Day?

Here are a list of activities and events that are happening around Jasper on Canada Day.


CANADA DAY PARADE: What to Expect...

As a longstanding annual tradition in Jasper, the Canada Day Parade can see 30+ participants ranging from local businesses, organizations and sporting groups and even the odd group of dinosaurs.

The parade begins at 1:00pm following the parade route depicted below. It will begin at the corner of Elm Avenue and Patricia Street, turning east on to Pyramid Lake Road. As it passes the downtown core of Jasper along Connaught Drive, it will loop back onto Patricia Street via Hazel Ave. The final leg and last opportunity to observe the procession will be along Elm Ave.

Street Closures will be in effect between 12:00pm and 2:00pm on July 1.

  • No Parking in the downtown area between these times.

Some tips to best enjoy the Parade…

  • Get there early, but not too early. We suggest finding your spot from 12pm onwards.
  • Avoid spots such as corners to allow for larger floats to turn safely.
  • Patio season is in effect. Please do not crowd in front of road side patios as space is limited.
