Canada Day 2026

Canada Day is a nationwide celebration and a long-standing tradition in Centre Hastings. Each year, the Municipality of Centre Hastings hosts one of the largest events of the year within the village of Madoc. The main event for Canada Day is hosted at Centre Hastings Park (24 Seymour Street, Madoc). but also throughout Centre Hastings.

Canada Day is supported by its residents, community members, service groups, and volunteers, making this one of the year's biggest celebrations!

Canada Day has a variety of events that takes place throughout the day and evening! A wide variety of kid's games, live entertainment with face painting and balloon artists, live music, and end finally with fireworks on Moira Lake.

Our events program has been designed to safely connect us as friends, neighbors, and Canadians this July.

Thank you for the financial support received from the Government of Canada.

Local artists and creators are invited to take part in the Canada Day festivities at Centre Hastings Park on Wednesday, July 1, 2026 for a community Art Show and Live Artist Showcase. This free event proudly showcases local and Canadian culture while celebrating creativity in all its forms.

We are seeking artists working in painting, drawing, photography, woodworking, mixed media, and handmade crafts, along with other creative mediums. Each artist will have space to display approximately 3–4 pieces of work, with the option to remain with their display to sell artwork or leave contact information for potential buyers.

We are also especially interested in artists who would like to provide live demonstrations throughout the day, including live painting or sketching, woodworking or carving, photography showcases, and other interactive creative experiences for the public.

This showcase is open to all ages and skill levels and is designed to proudly celebrate and highlight local talent and Canadian culture as part of Centre Hastings’ Canada Day festivities. Spots are limited, so early registration is encouraged.
