Canada Day Celebration

Cultural Events & Festivals

Kedgwick celebrates Canada Day with activities such as guided tours of the Pioneer Tower, water park and amusement park attractions, a photo rally, games, shows and the raising of the Canadian flag.

Festival de l’Acadie (Acadian Festival) The term “Acadians” refers to immigrants from France in the early 1600s who settled in the former colony of Acadia, a region encompassing the present-day provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

During the deportation in 1755, Acadians were uprooted from their land by the British and deported to New England or the United Kingdom. Afterwards, some survivors returned to Acadia, often many decades later.

Kedgwick celebrates the Acadian Festival through a range of activities, including the raising of the Acadian flag, musical performances and a “tintamarre”, an Acadian tradition where people walk around the community and make lots of noise.
