2. Celebrate Brooklyn - Canaday Day in New York!
Canaday Day kicks off a day early at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Celebrate Brooklyn will be hosting a musical event with The New Pornographers, Stars and The Sadies.
What is Canada Day? Here's a short history: The history of Canada Day began on June 20, 1868, when a proclamation was signed by Lord Monck, the Governor General. All of Her Majesty's loyal subjects throughout Canada were called upon to join in the celebration (later known as Canada Day) of the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on July 1st. The July 1st holiday was established by statute in 1879, under the name Dominion Day.
