The solemn occasion part of the day has likely passed by now, and the festivities of Dominion Day have probably commenced. However, from my youth I remember the parades from the Sergeants Memorial to the National War Memorial (Nfld variant) but not any specific celebration of confederation on the day.
Edited to add
On reflection, I just remembered being involved in a ceremony on July 1, 1967 honouring a Newfoundland "Father of Confederation", Sir Ambrose Shea. As a young Boy Scout, I was the wreath carrier for the then Premier, Joey Smallwood (who liked to call himself the only living father of confederation) when he laid a wreath at Sir Ambrose's grave on the day. Supposedly it was something that was done that Centennial year at all the graves of the Fathers of Confederation.
