Coquitlam Lights Up Canada Day 2025 with Celebration and Fireworks
Hey everyone! Let me tell you about the incredible Canada Day celebration that happened right here in Coquitlam this year. It was one of those nights that just made you feel proud to be Canadian—and honestly, it felt like the whole city came out to celebrate.
The heart of the action was at Town Centre Park, and if you’ve ever been there, you know it’s a fantastic venue for large gatherings. The festivities started around noon, and the energy just kept building until it all culminated in a spectacular fireworks show at 10 p.m. I got there a bit early, and the place was already buzzing with families, kids running around, live music pumping through the air, and food trucks lined up with everything from poutine to bubble tea.

One of the best things about this event was how accessible it was. You could just hop on the Millennium Line and get off at Lafarge Lake–Douglas Station—it drops you right at the doorstep of all the action. That convenience really encouraged people from all over Metro Vancouver to come and join in. I met folks from Burnaby, Port Moody, even as far as Langley, all coming together to celebrate Canada’s 158th birthday.
The park was alive with activity—face painting for kids, live cultural performances, artisan stalls, and even a splash pad to cool off under the summer sun. Around dusk, there was this calm anticipation that swept through the crowd. Everyone knew what was coming. And right at 10 p.m., the fireworks lit up the sky over Lafarge Lake. It was stunning—bursts of red and white filling the night, perfectly timed to music that gave everyone chills. You could see people standing still, arms around loved ones, kids wide-eyed and pointing at the sky.
Even with all the political and economic tensions going on lately, this event reminded us that Canada Day is about unity and community. It wasn’t just a celebration of a date—it was a reminder of who we are and how we stand together. Events like these give people something to hold on to, especially in uncertain times.
So if you missed Coquitlam’s Canada Day this year, put it on your list for next year. Whether you come for the music, the family-friendly fun, or just to feel part of something bigger, it’s an experience that brings out the best in everyone. And let’s be honest—those fireworks alone are worth the trip.
