Canada Day in Fallingbrook
Every July 1, the Fallingbrook Community Association
organizes the largest volunteer-run Canada Day
celebration in the country. Thousands of people attend the
fair, amusement rides, games, races and entertainment
during the day. At night, over 20,000 people watch the
professional fireworks. This event is intended for
provide a "small-town" alternative for young
families who would prefer not to take their children to
the show on Parliament Hill. See us at the Ray Friel Centre, Tenth
Line Road.
