Beach Canada Day celebrations include fireworks at Ashbridges Bay, Q107 picnic at Woodbine Park

As is the Canada Day tradition in the Beach, the City of Toronto will present a fireworks display on the night of Wednesday, July 1, at Ashbridges Bay.

The display is set to start at 10 p.m. and last approximately 12 minutes.

Ashbridges Bay Park is located at 1561 Lake Shore Blvd. E. The fireworks display is designed to be visible across the Eastern Beaches and all along the Boardwalk.

TTC bus routes to Ashbridges Bay Park and Woodbine Beach Park include the 22A Coxwell and 92A Woodbine bus routes, with additional buses added to several routes to mitigate congestion.

Other Beach celebrations planned for July 1 include the annual Q107 Canada Day Picnic at Woodbine Park.

The free event goes from noon until just before 10 p.m. Woodbine Park is located at 1695 Queen St. E.

Johnny, Shawna, and Ryan of the station’s Q Mornings show will be at the park hosting from noon to 6 p.m.
