Canada Day in Leamington

The Municipality of Leamington will host a free Canada Day celebration including two evening concerts produced by The Bank Theatre, and a fireworks show at the waterfront.

On Friday, July 1, Leave Those Kids Alone will take the Sunset Amphitheatre stage at 7:30 pm, opening for Mary Newland and The Blue Bayou Band who will go on at 8:30 pm.

Mary Newland and The Blue Bayou Band revisit popular songs from one of music’s greatest eras. The Blue Bayou Band was created to pay tribute to songs definitive of an era that produced some of the most prolific and beloved singers and songwriters we know today.

LEAMINGTON’S MARY NEWLAND AND THE BLUE BAYOU BAND

Founded by Mary Newland and Richard Baker, they are joined by five local musicians to keep this great music alive.

Leave Those Kids Alone features five talented teenagers (including a pre-teen) playing note-for-note renditions of classic rock favourites.

Following the concerts, a fireworks show will be launched from a barge on Lake Erie beginning at approximately 10 pm.

All are welcome to attend this free, unticketed outdoor event. Bring a lawn chair or blanket and set up on the lawn for the show.

Food and drinks will be available for purchase at the Kinsmen Kanteen.

LTGO transit hours have been extended to 11 pm on Canada Day to get residents to and from the event conveniently and safely. Learn more at www.leamington.ca/ LTGO.
