Canada Day Celebrations

I hope everyone had a fabulous Canada Day.
I know I sure did! The weather was great and there were so many celebrations happening around Sudbury.

First, Amanda and I went to the Sudbury Arena to join in on their Canada Day Celebrations.

The arena was packed with people wearing red and white-it was definiately the place to be.

Amanda and I arrived at the Sudbury Arena around 11:00am, just in time for the stage acts and all the amazing food. Each year the Sudbury Arena hosts Canada Day Celebrations. Inside they have a stage set up with performing arts. They have performances by Happiness is Dancing (a local dance studio), Ukrainian Dancers, Irish Dancers and the list goes on and on- they are all amazing performances. It is great to see dances from different cultures because they are all so unique and entertaining. There was such diversity in the Sudbury Arena yesterday it was amazing. Amanda and I were talking to a group of people from Saudi Arabia, it was intriguing to listen to them talk about their culture.

So, I mentioned food earlier...the Sudbury Arena is FILLED with delicious food from around the world. There is probably about 30-40 booths set up with food from around the world. The smell in that place is mouthwatering! If you love food like me, it's another reason why the Sudbury Arena was the place to be on Canada Day. You could eat for hours! One year I am going to see if I can try food from every single booth set up. I will have to start training my body for that right now, because there is just SO much food.

Science North also had Canada Day Celebrations taking place during the day and at night. Kevin and Sarah went to Science North while Amanda and I were at the Sudbury Arena. They said they had an amazing time as well. Science North has a main stage set up with bands playing throughout the day. They have a lot of activities for the whole family. There is a lot to see and do. They end the night off with fireworks at around 10:00pm. I went to see the fireworks (I wasn't missing those)- they were amazing!

Well this wraps another amazing Canada Day. I hope everyone was able to check out the Sudbury Arena or Science North or both!
