Despite a less-thanperfect weekend, the skies cleared on Monday, ushering in a day of blue skies and warm sunshine, perfect for celebrating Canada's birthday. The festivities kicked off with a patriotic citizenship reaffirmation ceremony at the Main Beach, attended by the Mayor, council members, MP, and MPP. The air was filled with pride and joy as the community came together to celebrate. Families flocked to the vibrant 'Kids Zone,' where laughter and excitement filled the air. The Kinette Club of Wasaga Beach delighted early risers with a
delicious pancake breakfast, setting a joyful tone for the day. The on site food trucks offered an array of tasty treats to keep everyone energized. The Main Beach buzzed with activity all day, with crowds soaking up the sun and fun. As the sun began to set, anticipation for the evening's entertainment grew. The Main Stage lit up as 'Grace' delivered an amazing performance, setting the stage for the main act. Multi-award winners 'The Strumbellas' took over, and the estimated 10,000 in the crowd on the sand and Beach Drive danced and sang along to every song.

From morning ceremonies to evening fireworks, it was a day filled with fun, music, and unforgettable memories.
