Canada Day celebrations are returning to the City of Moncton.

Award winning performer Colin James will take to the stage, his first time in nine years headlining Canada Day in the Hub City.

James’ career has spanned over 30 years with an impressive 20 studio albums, seven Juno Awards, 27 Maple Blues Awards and multi-platinum record sales.

A tri-community fireworks show is also planned on July 1st, along with children’s entertainment and activities.

“We are thrilled to be able to bring together Monctonians once again this summer after two years of many virtual events. We are equally as excited to welcome Colin James back to Moncton, and look forward to all of the activities both on, and leading up to, July 1” said Mayor Dawn Arnold.

A full schedule will be released at a later date.
