The City of Barrie has a full day of programming for the July 1st festivities.

From celebrations in the Downtown core to afternoon festivals at community parks, here's how Barrie is celebrating Canada Day.

"I love it. Look at all these families. You see the adults and their children having fun. There's nothing better," said Caroline Leppanen from the City of Barrie's special events team. She helped organize one of the art displays at the Lampman Lane Park celebration.

Centennial Park also hosts a 9:30 p.m. circus show, followed by 10 p.m. fireworks over Kempenfelt Bay.
