 Canada Day Celebrations
July 1st in Nakusp, with a Pancake Breakfast by the volunteer firefighters, a parade, and then all sorts of activities at the community park such as kid's races, fun games of chance, a concession, and music in the gazebo. | | As the skatepark lies adjacent to the community park, it is not unusual for a skateboard competition to be held the same day. A fireworks show tops it all off just after dark. |
