Here is where you can celebrate Canada’s 157th birthday:
Ashbridge’s Bay
Located along the waterfront of Toronto’s east end, Ashbridges Bay Park is the go-to location for fireworks. Attendees are advised to not travel by car to this event due to large crowds. Public transportation is encouraged instead. The fireworks display will kick off at 10 p.m.
