Cobourg, ON (May 12, 2022) – The Town of Cobourg Community Services Division is eager to announce the return of Cobourg’s Canada Day celebrations.
Following two years of virtual activities, the Town of Cobourg Community Services Division is thrilled to announce the return of the Cobourg Canada Day Parade and celebrations in Victoria Park. In addition to Canada Day, the Marketing and Events department is very excited to announce the return of many community and cultural events. These activities are opportunities to highlight great art and music here in Cobourg as well as provide a venue for our community to get outside and reconnect with their neighbours.
“It has been a challenging time for our local businesses and community,” says Councillor Adam Bureau. “With the return of great community events like Canada Day and the Waterfront Festival I am excited to once again see our local restaurants and businesses full and to provide people with activities that bring them joy.”
The Town of Cobourg Canada Day celebrations will once again be partnered with the Cobourg Waterfront Festival, hosted by the Rotary Club of Cobourg and the Cobourg Lions Club. Local residents and their guests can expect to see Victoria Park and Rotary Harbourfront Park full with musical entertainment, art shows, great food and beverage and activities for kids.
