Residents across the Leduc Region can mark Canada Day close to home on July 1, 2026, with celebrations in Leduc, Beaumont, Devon, and Millet offering everything from a classic car show and train rides to a major concert and — in Beaumont — fireworks that reach new heights.

The City of Leduc is hosting the region’s largest event from 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., starting with a pancake breakfast at the Heritage Grain Elevator. Downtown, the Block 50 Canada Day Car Show returns for its second year, filling Main Street with chrome, classics, and customs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The evening shifts to the Leduc Recreation Centre for a free outdoor concert headlined by award-winning Nova Scotia hip-hop artist Classified, with The East Pointers opening the show. The night ends with a fireworks display at 11 p.m. at the Leduc Recreation Centre fields. More details are on the City of Leduc website.

Beaumont has moved its daytime celebration to the Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre due to significant June rainfall and more rain in the forecast, but the 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. event still packs in train rides, inflatables, and cultural performances from groups like Mudra Dance School and Divine Bhangra. The fireworks show has been significantly upgraded, launching from the Beaumont and District Agricultural Society Fairgrounds and reaching about 750 feet in the air, more than double the height of past years. The display is set for 11 p.m., as detailed on the Beaumont Canada Day page.

Devon is holding a free afternoon gathering at Centennial Park from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m., featuring live music, Circus Surreal performers, a community hot dog barbecue, antique fire truck rides, and food trucks. In Millet, the Canada Day Festival presented by Millet Helping Hands invites families to bring lawn chairs and community spirit for a day of local festivities. The regional tourism group Discover Leduc Region is promoting all the events as part of its “Celebrate Close to Home” effort, making it easy to find a full day of activities without travelling far.
