Celebrate Canadian-style
One way to experience the regional cultures of Canada is to attend the local festivals and special events that have grown popular with the locals and visitors alike. Everywhere across Canada communities come together to celebrate their past, their unique qualities, or just to have a good time in winter or summer. Some of the larger and internationally renowned events include the Calgary Stampede, where cowboys and wannabe cowpokes come to see the best compete in Canada’s largest rodeo; the Tulip Festival in Ottawa, an annual event in spring to highlight the blossoming tulips presented by the Netherlands in gratitude to Canadians for help during the Second World War; the sailing of the Tall Ships in Halifax, a harbourside city with very strong ties to its maritime past; and Winter Carnival in Québec City, where residents venture out in winter’s chill to have fun in the cold. From a First Nations pow wow in the Prairies or on the West Coast to Highland Games in Ontario or the annual Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, travelers discover the cultural identities that comprise our Canadian cultural mosaic. Canada Your Way invites you to come and enjoy Canadian festivals for a memorable holiday journey.
