Is this event accessible? Will there be accessible parking?

Yes! People of all abilities will be able to enjoy Canada Day at the Park. Limited accessible parking (A1) will be available at the upper parking lot.

Will there be washrooms and water fountains?

Yes. Washrooms, handwashing stations and water fountains will be available. Please bring a reusable bottle as you can refill bottle at our water trailer.

I thought fireworks weren’t permitted at the Park. How come Downsview Park can put on fireworks?

That is correct, fireworks aren’t permitted at Downsview Park, or at any City of Toronto parks and beaches. Please see the City of Toronto’s Fireworks Bylaw for more information.

Fireworks are, however, permitted on private property without a permit on Victoria Day and Canada Day. Downsview Park has hired professional fireworks technicians to display a safe and controlled show that is approved by Toronto Fire Services.

As fireworks can be harmful to wildlife and their habitats, we only do this once a year with appropriate safety procedures and security checks in place. If you’re attending our festival, please leave the fireworks at home, and instead sit back and enjoy our show!

Can I bring my own alcohol to the festival?

No, we do not allow for visitors to bring their own alcohol to the festival.
