Key Takeaways

🍦 Vancouver Ice Cream Festival (June 20 – August 4)

🎪 Halifax International Busker Festival (July 30 – August 4)
Six full days of world-class street performances right on the Halifax waterfront. From acrobats and magicians to local food and artisan markets, this is a vibrant East Coast tradition for all ages that’s as spontaneous as it is spectacular.

🎶 Osheaga Festival (Montreal) (August 1 – 3)
One of Canada’s most iconic music festivals, Osheaga blends big-name headliners with rising talent across a colourful, artsy setting in downtown Montreal. Great for music fans who also appreciate a strong creative vibe.
