The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario, has released its holiday schedule for Canada Day on July 1, 2026, along with a lineup of free community events running from June 26 to 28. Most town facilities will be closed or have reduced hours, but residents can look forward to a weekend packed with activities including the long-running Strawberry Festival, a classic car show, and a fireworks display.
On July 1, the Stouffville Leisure Centre and Fitness Centre will be open from 7:30 AM until noon, giving people a chance for a morning swim or workout. All other town facilities will be completely closed for the statutory holiday. This includes Town Hall, the library, the museum, both arenas, Latcham Art Centre, 19 on the Park, and the 55+ Club.
The Canada Day weekend kicks off with the Whitchurch-Stouffville Strawberry Festival at Memorial Park from June 26 to 28. Now in its 40th year and recognized as one of Ontario’s Top 100 Festivals, this free family event includes a market, live entertainment, food vendors, and a pancake breakfast. The festival is partially funded by the Province of Ontario’s Experience Ontario Program.
On Friday, June 27, residents can take part in two more free activities. Curbside Giveaway Day runs from 7 AM to 5 PM as part of a York Region-wide initiative, letting people leave unwanted but usable items at the curb for others to pick up. That same day, the Rock ‘N Roll Classic Car Show will bring up to 100 vintage vehicles to Main Street, presented in partnership with the Stouffville Markham Cruisers.
Canada Day itself will end with a bang at Memorial Park. Festivities start at 5 PM, with the fireworks show lighting up the sky at 9:30 PM. The celebration is partially funded by the Government of Canada’s Celebrate Canada Program. The town announced the full schedule on June 11, 2026.
