How to Make an Adventure Out of Canada Day
With Canada Day rapidly approaching, figuring out what you should be doing on that day will help you not only celebrate your country but make the most out of the holiday! Staying at home and watching TV—while definitely enjoyable—isn’t precisely the best way to celebrate Canada Day. Fortunately, the best part is that you can essentially do anything you want on that day—and you don’t even have to be a Canadian to celebrate it!
That being said, if you genuinely don’t know how to maximize Canada Day, we hope you love adventure! By adventure, we mean travelling around to enjoy beautiful experiences that will spice up your day and make this holiday a memorable one. Here are some of the things you can do to change up how you experience this wonderful holiday:
1) Hike the Trail
Love hiking? This one’s for you!
If you’re ready to take a long, wonderful recreational hike through Canada’s stunning wilderness, go ahead and enjoy the Trans Canada Trail. It is one of the longest recreational trails in the world that extends over 24,000 km (15,000 miles). Many parts of the trail are close to big cities, so it is likely that you’re already near a section of the same trail. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself immersed in the stunning beauty of nature!
2) Visit a Festival
If you’d instead surround yourself with other people rather than nature, why not visit a festival? After all, festivals are all about fun and celebration—and on Canada Day, there will be festivals near you!
Note that different festivals may showcase different things, so do take the time to research what the festival has to offer before you head out there.
3) Climb a Mountain
For the more adventurous, climbing a mountain may be the only option available when it comes to creating a wonderful and memorable holiday experience. Canada’s mountains are magnificent, and if you’re up for it, you can go for either a day hike or even an overnight trip to the various mountains in the country. Just be sure to book the campsite in advance if necessary and ensure you have all the equipment you need for a successful climb.
4) Explore the Capital
If you are looking for a “can’t go wrong” solution to make the most out of Canada Day, plan a visit to Canada’s capital, Ottawa! Here, you’ll find a ton of different special activities to celebrate the special day, from concerts, fireworks, festivals, and more.
Just don’t forget your red and white outfit, as you’ll soon find yourself many just like you celebrating this wonderful holiday.
Conclusion
There are many other things you can do, such as visiting the beach or even heading out on an open-water trip. You do not necessarily have to lock yourself in what we’ve shared here to celebrate Canada Day!
Just make sure that you’re doing something that you genuinely enjoy. Of course, if that is to sit on the couch at home bulldozing your way through your favourite Netflix specials, we aren’t going to stop you. How you celebrate Canada day is totally up to you, but the most crucial aspect of getting right is enjoying what you are doing. For many, that includes getting out of the home to enjoy the thrills the country has to offer—and it might just be the same for you!
