The Assiniboia Downs have a two-day lineup planned for their Canada Day celebrations. Starting with an EDM dance party on Thursday and ending with the Fireworks Spectacular on Friday night, it will the FIRST two-day celebration in the history of ASD! “In a way, this is the Night Market moving to Canada Day,” said Cory O’Grodnik, the event coordinator. “It’s the first time we’ve ever done this on Canada Day because, in the past, we’ve always had horse racing on Canada Day.”
