The Canada Day fireworks that were postponed earlier this month in Mississippi Mills have been rescheduled for Thursday, July 30, at dusk at Gemmill Park in Almonte, Ontario.
Residents who missed the chance to take in the display on July 1 because of extreme weather that swept through the Ottawa region now have a second opportunity to gather at the park at 182 Bridge Street.
The original Canada Day celebrations included live music, a kids’ zone, and a headlining performance by Juno Award winners MonkeyJunk. Those daytime activities were scheduled to go ahead as planned, but the evening fireworks did not proceed.
Across the area, a storm brought heavy rain, flooding, and power outages, forcing Ottawa to cancel its National Canada Day Evening Show and fireworks at LeBreton Flats. The Municipality of Mississippi Mills is now inviting the community back to Gemmill Park to close out July with the postponed display.
Further details about the July 30 event are available on the municipality’s website.
