After two years of postponed and cancelled plans, the City of Steinbach, along with Mennonite Heritage Village (MHV), have announced a day of family-friendly celebration activities for Canada Day on July 1.

MHV will be offering free admission (9am – 5pm) and has activities and entertainment throughout the day. Families can then head over to the Steinbach Soccer Park for evening activities including a music DJ, face painting, free cupcakes and Canada Day souvenirs. The day ends with a fireworks finale starting at 10:45pm.

City officials say that prime viewing locations for the fireworks will be in the Soccer Park, Southland Church parking lot, L.A. Barkman Park (Abe’s Hill), and along McKenzie Avenue and Bush Farm Road.

For safety reasons, the pathways between Bush Farm Road and the Soccer Park will be unavailable for public use from 8pm to midnight on July 1.
