Weekend Roundup

With plenty of fun activities and slightly more reasonable temperatures, here are some of our picks for the weekend! 

After the hullabaloo and heatstroke of the long weekend has passed, we are faced with another beautiful weekend in our city, and no limit of ways to fill it. Bluesfest starts with a bang on Thursday night and rolls right on through the weekend. If Lebreton Flats is not your destination of choice, mix it up a little bit with a poutine in Gatineau, a soccer game, some classical music or a Shakespeare play for a little culture.

It’s going to be a scorcher this weekend and there’s plenty going on to celebrate Canada Day all weekend long. No matter where you end up or what you do, have a great long weekend!

The solstice is upon us! Summer has officially arrived in this beautiful city and festival season is just in time to celebrate the change of seasons.

With no fewer than four festival taking place this weekend (Fringe, Craft Beer, Franco-Ontarien, and Glowfair), there truly is something for everyone. Enjoy!

Down in Ottawa, we like to refer to this time of the year as six-one-three season, or “61threeson.” You know what I’m talking about: it’s the time of year just after the tulips close, and summer hasn’t quite happened, but it’s warm and the city has awoken to a deluge of events, events, events.

It is time to rejoice, we’ve a long weekend ahead! A whole extra day to get out and enjoy what this fine city has to offer! This weekend there is a ton of stuff going on, so we might as well get to it.

Believe it or not, we’ve made it. Spring has sprung in Ottawa, and one thing is certain: there will be tulips.

This weekend is not only the annual Jane’s Walk, but also the first ever Jane’s Mob in Ottawa on Thursday night. Read all of Apt613’s coverage of Jane’s Walk here and don’t miss our podcast! For more of what’s happening, read on and don’t miss our events calendar for even more!

With May just around the corner, the weather has warmed from the snow and ice of a few short weeks ago and we can finally pack away our winter jackets. Going outside has become a whole lot more hospitable – and just in time, as there is plenty to get out and do this weekend in Ottawa!

Anyone got a time machine? You’ll need it to fit in all the great events this weekend, featuring a jammed packed Saturday!
