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.

Then on July 1, organizers are planning a full day of events, activities, sports, music, entertainment and vendors. Local artists will perform from the park’s bandshell ahead of a Canada Day firework show planned for 11 p.m. that evening.

The Beat the Heat Skate Competition is back for another year, too.

All the activities at Kin Coulee Park are free and family friendly, according to organizers.

More information on Medicine Hat’s Canada Day celebration is available on its official event page.
