Get ready to paint the town rainbow and be part of a historic moment as PRISM, Milton’s 2SLGBTQIA+ group holds its very first Pride Parade in Milton!

Canada Day has always held a special place in the heart of Miltonians. For over a quarter of a century the Town has come together at the Milton Fairgrounds to celebrate our country’s birthday. The history of this celebration is interwoven with the support of many current and past community groups. While our Canada Day celebration has many public and private sponsors, many Miltonian’s don’t realize it’s entirely run and organized by the Halton Agricultural Society, with the support of dedicated community volunteers and private groups. The Halton Agricultural Society is thankful to be able to continue bringing this annual event to the community, with many memorable past Canada Day celebrations hosted by the now dissolved Milton Canada Day Committee.
