“Once again this year I would like to invite all Canadians and friends of Canada to come to Trafalgar Square to celebrate Canada Day in London on July 1. As Canada turns 142, this is now the fourth anniversary for this celebration, which is becoming a tradition in its own right and an important part of London’s summer calendar.”
- The Canadian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, James R Wright
Canada comes to the centre of London
Once upon a time, there was a place called Canada. Our Canada. Not a cold, lonely land of vast landscapes, but one filled with colour and sounds and scents and scenes of a lifetime. We want to tell the world about the real Canada. Our Canada.
It’s vibrant, colorful and filled with progressive people. And now we’re turning 142. Looking pretty good for our age, eh?
Great performers
We have a fantastic entertainment line up including one of Canada's hottest bands the Stereos, Matt Grist, Amy Nelson, Daniel Bernhard, Gasoline Alley, Loaded Dice and Comedians: Wade McElwain, Stewart Francis, Drew McCreadie, Joanne Lau, Pat Burtscher and Mike Sheer. YOU DO NOT NEED TICKETS for this year's event so please come and enjoy the show. What more could you ask for..
Taste it, watch it,

What else?
Its all about saying “buh-bye” to the bland and hello to the riveting details of place, taste, sound and scent. Because that’s what makes our country exotic, proudly original, uniquely ours. If you didn’t know us, now you will. C’est le Canada. We are more. We’re Bringing Canada to the Heart of London!
