Canada Day at the Beach
This year's Canada Day celebration is back at Doheny State Beach! Join us for a family-friendly picnic to celebrate Canada Day and kick-start your Independence Day celebrations. Everyone's invited; Canadians, and friends of Canadians! Pack your picnic basket, bring a cooler with something to grill, wear your favorite Canadian tee shirt, ball cap, face paint, or just wear some RED and WHITE. Show your Canadian pride to kick off the summer with our fellow Americans!
WE HAVE AN ALCOHOL WAIVER FOR OUR SITE, SO YOU CAN OPENLY ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE BEER OR WINE THAT YOU BRING AS WELL.
About The Location
We’ve returned to Doheny State Beach, and have reserved the Picnic Area A, familiar to those who have attended in the past. We celebrate at the beach to enjoy what many of us moved here for. The site we’ve reserved has a large paved area, with shaded picnic tables, access to sinks, and large BBQ grills, which we’ll keep hot throughout the day.
Live Entertainment
We’re excited to have François Ross and Louise Gauthier-Ross back this year from Perfect Blend to sing the National Anthem and entertain us with a short set.
