Princess Auto Stadium will be buzzing on Canada Day once again.

The Winnipeg Football Club will once again host Canada Day celebrations at the stadium on July 1 starting at noon.

A tailgate celebration featuring family-friendly activities and performances from local musicians will take place from noon to 5:30 p.m. throughout the stadium grounds.

At 5 p.m., the main stage inside the stadium will open up, with Down with Webster and Chad Brownlee headlining. Local musicians Don Amero and Mise en Scene will also perform on the main stage.

The event will conclude with a fireworks display above the stadium.

It will be the third year the stadium has held an event on Canada Day.

The event is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for Manitoba Harvest. Tickets are not required to access the tailgate celebrations.

Tickets for the main stage performances are also free but need to be claimed online on the Blue Bombers’ website.
