Due to the closure of Centennial Park, the fireworks will be fired from a barge off Canatara beach in Canatara Park. This site will allow for good viewing from Canatara Beach as well as most reasonably distanced beaches along the Lake including Baxter and other Eastern beach access site. There will be no parking in Canatara Park from 4:30 p.m. on but bus service will be available.
Fireworks start at 10:00 p.m. The Canatara Beach access points will be lighted so people will be able to access roads and other points safely. Sarnia Police will be in the Park to ensure a safe event occurs.
The Monday, July 1st concert features Steadfast at 5:00 p.m., D.O. Gibson at 6:15, Rumblefish at 7:30, and 3rd Wave at 8:45. This promises to be a great evening.
The concert scheduled for July 1st in Centennial Park will now be held on Sunday, June 30th in Canatara Park (parking is available). Steven Page, former front man of the Barenaked Ladies, will perform. Opening for Steven Page will be Sisters of Soul at 6:00 p.m. and Molly Thomason at 7:30 p.m.

Personally, I think it will be way better to have all the festivities at one park! What do you think?
