Canada Day Arts Fair

Canada Day Arts Fair

Celebrate creativity, community, and Canadian pride at the Canada Day Arts Fair, returning to Downtown Windsor for its third annual celebration on July 1st. Taking place along University Avenue between Pelissier Street and Freedom Way from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the event serves as a sister celebration to the annual Canada Day Parade, offering attendees an opportunity to continue the festivities in the heart of Downtown Windsor.

Conveniently located at the University Avenue intersection of the parade route, the Canada Day Arts Fair creates a lively destination for parade-goers, families, residents, and visitors to gather and celebrate long after the parade concludes.

Hosted by the Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (DWBIA), the event will feature more than 25 vendors showcasing a diverse selection of handmade goods, original artwork, crafts, and locally created products, providing attendees with the opportunity to support Windsor-Essex artists and makers while enjoying a festive atmosphere. In addition to shopping local, guests can enjoy a full lineup of family-friendly entertainment and interactive activities throughout the event.

Performances by stilt walkers, live music from Paul Beresford, and energetic sets by DJ Evolution will help create a vibrant and welcoming celebration of Canada Day in Downtown Windsor. Families and children can also enjoy complimentary hands-on arts and crafts workshops, spin art experiences, and face painting, making the event an engaging experience for attendees of all ages.

Patriotic giveaways, including Canada Day flags, pins, and temporary tattoos, will also be available while supplies last. Whether stopping by after the parade, shopping local vendors, enjoying live entertainment, or participating in family activities, the Canada Day Arts Fair offers an extended Canada Day experience that celebrates local creativity, community spirit, and Canadian pride.
