Here is the lineup for Canada Day celebrations in Ottawa

A star-studded lineup of Canadian musicians headlines this year’s Canada Day party in the nation’s capital. CTV’s Tyler Fleming reports.

Sarah McLachlan, Tom Cochrane, Amanda Marshall, Randy Bachman and Ottawa’s Talk will headline Canada Day festivities in Ottawa.

Canadian Heritage unveiled the lineup to celebrate Canada’s 158th birthday on July 1. The main festivities will be held at LeBreton Flats.

“Celebrating Canada Day in the heart of Canada’s capital is a one-of-a-kind experience. Once again this year, Ottawa and Gatineau will host must-see festivities: shows, activities for the whole family,” Canadian Heritage said in a statement.

The national noon ceremony at 12 p.m. will feature Amanda Marshall, Garou, Thompson Egbo-Egbo, Rafaëlle Roy and Alli Walker.

The evening show from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. includes artists  Sarah McLachlan, Randy Bachman, Mitsou, Amanda Marshall, Roch Voisine, Tom Cochrane, Coeur de Pirate, Josh Ross, Dumas, Ivan Boivin-Flamand and Ottawa’s Talk. Isabelle Racicot will host the evening show.

“The Canada Day National Evening Show is a must-see event that embodies our Canadian pride,” Canadian Heritage says on its website.

“It features colourful musical performances and an electric atmosphere. As we celebrate our national identity, waves of red and white will flow through LeBreton Flats Park, filling the streets of the capital with excitement that will resonate all across the country.”

“From the heart of Canada’s capital, with performances from Summerside, Yellowknife and Vancouver, let’s come together through dance, song and the unifying power of music!”

Canada Day festivities will wrap up at 10 p.m. with the Tim Hortons Canada Day Fireworks over Ottawa-Gatineau. 

The main Canada Day events in Ottawa will be held at LeBreton Flats as construction continues on Parliament Hill. Canadian Heritage says there will also be interactive activities at LeBreton Flats, including professional dancers on the dance floor, outdoor short films and a performance by DJ Miss Shelton.

There will be events on Parliament Hill on July 1, including the Changing of the Guard Ceremony, the Royal Canadian Air Force Pipes and Drums, and a Snowbirds show at 4 p.m.

Canadian Heritage says Canada Day events will also be held at the Supreme Court of Canada, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary, and in Old Hull.  The Strumbellas will perform in the Laval Street pedestrian precinct in Hull from 10:15 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.

“Whether you are here at home or abroad, July 1 is a time to come together, enjoy great music, share our stories and reflect on what makes us unique.” Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, said in a statement.

“As a country, we form a vibrant mosaic and we become stronger when we honour the ties that bind us and celebrate together. This Canada Day, I invite you to join the festivities so that we can raise our voices, wave our flags and, together, show the world what it means to be proudly Canadian.”
