Event Overview

With the support of the City of Halifax and the Canada Day Drumming National Committee, Canada Day Drumming Halifax (CDD Halifax) has proudly celebrated Canada's birthday alongside our vibrant local immigrant communities since 2017.

We have achieved remarkable milestones, including breaking the Guinness World Record for simultaneous drumming, with participation from 148 Canadian cities and 26 international cities across 13 countries during our 2020 and 2021 online events.

Since 2022, we have successfully returned to in-person celebrations and relocated to Dartmouth Ferry Terminal Park, drawing thousands of visitors each year for this cultural celebration.

What is Canada Day Drumming?

It’s a cross-country celebration of music, unity & culture—uniting people through the power of rhythm.
🪘 ONE BEAT. ONE CANADA.
