Martensville residents are invited to kick off their Canada Day festivities a day early with an exciting evening of free, family-friendly events on Monday, June 30.
The celebration begins at the Martensville Athletic Pavilion (MAP) with a free open gym from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. All three courts will be open for drop-in sports and activities, giving families and individuals of all ages a chance to get active and have fun before the evening’s main events begin.
At 7:30 p.m., gates will open at the outdoor movie site. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, and snacks for a magical night under the stars. This year’s community-voted movie is Moana 2, set to begin at approximately 9:30 p.m., just as the sun sets.
The evening will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display at 10:30 p.m., lighting up the sky above the ball diamonds.
“Due to dry conditions, we were unable to host fireworks for Buster Days, which actually worked out, because now we get to put on a fantastic Canada Day fireworks display,” said Jamie McCulloch, Recreation Program Coordinator II for the City of Martensville. “We can’t wait to see our local residents come together to celebrate this special day as a community.”
The entire event is free, with the exception of snacks and treats available for purchase on site from the Martensville Youth Connection (MYC).
This celebration is made possible through the partnership of the City of Martensville, North Prairie Developments Ltd., and Canwest Commercial & Land Corporation. A special thank you goes to Clark’s Supply & Service Inc. and the Martensville & District Kinsmen Club for their generous support.
“Thank you to everyone who helped bring this event together,” McCulloch added. “It’s sure to be a fun-filled evening and a perfect way to celebrate Canada Day in Martensville.”
