West Lincoln Canada Day Event Set to be Practically Hip

For Immediate Release: June 3, 2024

The Township is thrilled to announce that Practically Hip, Canada’s number one Tragically Hip tribute band, is set to headline West Lincoln’s Long Time Running Canada Day event. Stop Looking for a Place to Happen, gather your Courage and bring your Boots or Hearts to the event that’s Ahead by a Century.

The Canada Day event will take over the Leisureplex Township Park, at 2543 South Grimsby Road 6, in Smithville, from 3 to 10:15 p.m. on Monday, July 1. The day’s activities will include market vendors, games by Bubble Force Canada, Triple C Petting Farm, face painting, plus a Cornhole 18+ Tournament and more!

Register your Cornhole team of two by June 24 by emailing recreation@westlincoln.ca or calling 905-957-3346 ext. 4682. Please submit the first and last names of both participants and an appropriate team name. Space is limited and will be first come, first served.

The main stage will feature Bubbleology, WonderPhil Magic and the headlining act: Practically Hip. The evening will be capped off with a spectacular fireworks display by Garden City Display Fireworks at 10 p.m. sharp.

Established in Southern Ontario in 1997, Practically Hip has been performing the music its members love for more than 20 years at clubs, festivals, universities and colleges, and private events throughout North America and beyond.

The band members are not only professional musicians and performers, they are also super fans who have seen more than 75 Tragically Hip concerts. As true and dedicated fans, they can be note-perfect on all the songs, while adding jams and electric performance elements audiences are looking for. This is truly what has made Practically Hip the busiest, most sought after and number one Tragically Hip tribute bands in Canada.

Parking is very limited on site, so guests are encouraged to skip the drive and take the bus. A free shuttle service will be provided, with pick-up/drop-off points at the West Lincoln Community Centre, Greek Hall, Village Square Plaza and Smithville Christian High School.
