VAUGHAN, ON (June 18, 2026) –– Canada’s Wonderland, the country’s premier amusement park, is kicking off summer with a bang by announcing an expanded fireworks lineup featuring five spectacular nights in July – including four newly added Saturday evening shows – plus dazzling displays on the Civic Holiday and Labour Day long weekends.

“This year we’re hosting a record number of fireworks nights, giving guests more opportunity to experience one of our most memorable traditions,” said Christopher Mortensen, park president. “From our attractions to events and entertainment – there’s always something new to experience at Canada’s Wonderland and we hope every guest leaves already looking forward to their next visit.”

New fire divers off Wonder Mountain and lively street performances add even more excitement to the celebration.
- Celebration Canada sponsored by Neutrogena (July 1-5): Celebrate Canada’s birthday with live music, family-friendly activities and inspiring Indigenous performances by the Smoke Trail Singers on July 1.
