It was a sea of red at Chalmers Park as thousands turned out to celebrate Canada Day.
The City of Delta held expanded Canada Day festivities — dubbed the Great Big Birthday Bash — at the North Delta park on July 1, part of a larger effort to “amp up” city-hosted events in 2026.
The community celebration had a “larger than life” theme, complete with oversized lawn games, eating contests, giant inflatables, bubble soccer, tug-of-war competitions, the finals of the city’s inaugural Great Big Delta Pickleball Smash tournament, hot and fresh barbecue and Punjabi food by local charitable organizations, several food trucks, energetic live music performances and more, all capped off with a spectacular fireworks show.
