Canada Day 2025 in Medicine Hat: Here’s what to know

Jul 1, 2025 | 5:30 AM

Medicine Hat’s 2025 official Canada Day celebrations are taking place June 30 and July 1.

It’s the second year that festivities are being organized by a new Canada Day Society made up of volunteers from The Connection group and the Medicine Hat Skateboard Association.

New for 2025 is a drone show planned as the closer for the culture-focused Globe Up the Globe event on the evening of June 30.

The drones are filling a spot left open by fireworks that have been moved to the evening of July 1 this time around.
