Bayham - Port Burwell Historical Society hosts this annual event, a fun-filled festivity that celebrates Canada’s birthday. The birthday celebration is commemorated with a parade at 11am, from the Royal Canadian Legion to the library, followed by a flag-raising ceremony and cake cutting. Other activities include balloons & children’s games, BBQ and live musical entertainment. The staff of the Marine Museum always aid in the running of children’s programs so mom and dad can have some fun also.
