Canada Day Picnic

We are excited to bring together our diverse community -- from the Consulate, government, tech, culture, sports and entertainment. Meet new #sfbaycanadians and reconnect with old friends while celebrating Canada Day!

FOOD & DRINK:

Enjoy a tasty Flamin Dog BBQ plate, cold Canadian beers, wine tasting with Kascadia Wine Merchants, snacks and Kona Ice snow cones!

FAMILY FRIENDLY:

Get ready for a day of fun -- crafts, trivia, street hockey, bean bag toss, water balloons, tug o' war, a donut eating contest and more surprises! We'll have prizes including one lucky raffle winner of 2 Air Canada tickets anywhere in Canada.

Meet Jocelyn Watkinson, the Children's Author of THE THREE CANADIAN PIGS: A HOCKEY STORY. She will be reading from her book. You can also pre-order a copy from Canadian owned book store, Linden Tree.

DML's recycle, re-use, re-read Kids Book Swap: bring your gently used books (toddler to pre-teen) to trade with another book or two! 

LOCATION:

Wear red/white and your Canada gear or favourite Canadian sports team and look for us at the East & West Meadow. You can't miss our flag proudly displayed and our Mountie & Digital Moose! (Note: no pets and there is a $5 park entrance fee.)
