Live Folk-Rock Music by Coldwater Road
Soak in the sounds of Coldwater Road, a Vancouver-based folk-rock duo known for their storytelling and toe-tapping tunes. They'll be performing three 30-minute live sets between 12:00 PM and 2:30 PM outdoors, right in front of our landmark Mill No. 3 building — a National Historic Site that once processed ore for one of Canada’s most important copper mines.
Classic Outdoor Games & Maypole Dancing
Get into the festive spirit with classic games like Cornhole, Ring Toss, and more. Families will love taking part in the traditional Maypole dance, a cheerful activity that brings a nostalgic charm to the day. Whether you're five or ninety-five, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Admission Includes Underground Tour & BOOM! Show
Your Canada Day admission includes access to their immersive Underground Tour, where you can experience what it was like to be a miner working deep inside the mountain. Plus, don’t miss the BOOM! show, the award-winning live-action special effects experience that brings the story of Mill No. 3 to life with lights, sound, and historical storytelling.
