Watch the fireworks show over Edmonton's river valley and North Saskatchewan River. The fireworks were choreographed to the music of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.
During this extreme heat, drink plenty of water and watch for signs of heat illness. The City’s Extreme Weather Protocol remains in effect.
Enjoy the magnificent fireworks display over Edmonton’s river valley parks and the North Saskatchewan River.
We're looking forward to getting back to normal this summer, however Edmontonians are asked to take precautions where you can on this Canada Day. This year’s fireworks display will include more high-level bursts so that people may view them from farther away. Keep your distance from others while watching the fireworks and wear a mask when you are not able to do so.
Please stay home if you are sick, as there are some people who are immunocompromised, and children cannot get vaccinated. The fireworks will be livestreamed for anyone who would like to watch from home.
Note: No viewing is available from Kinsmen Park.
Pedestrian access will be unavailable in Kinsmen Park (including trail access), and the High Level and Menzies Bridges after road closures are in effect. Kinsmen playground and picnic areas are closed starting at 6am on Canada Day.
The following pedestrian access across the North Saskatchewan River will be unavailable from 9:45pm until 90 minutes after the fireworks:
Pedestrian access across the river will be available via the Groat Road Bridge, James Macdonald Bridge, Walterdale Bridge and the Low Level Bridge.
Watercraft may be taken out on the river to view the fireworks, however for safety reasons, a portion of the river in front of the launch zone at Kinsmen (from approximately the High Level Bridge to the Walterdale Bridge) will be blocked off to all watercraft during the fireworks.
Before taking watercraft out on the North Saskatchewan River, check the boat launch notifications. Closures may occur due to water levels, weather, or other situations.
Expect traffic delays 2 hours before the fireworks and 2 hours after the show. Please be patient and courteous to help to make the trip home from the fireworks safe for everyone.
If you need to cross the river, please be aware of the potential for delay and adjust your travel plans accordingly. For road closure details visit the Special Event Road Closures web page or view the Current Traffic Disruptions map.
