Mark your calendar and tell your friends, Almonte Celtfest will be back in Gemmill Park for a weekend full of live music and festivities July 4-6!

Welcome to another weekend! With all the new buds and blossoms, it definitely seems like Ottawa is coming alive again, and not a moment too soon! Whether you want to get into some live sports, cool music, drag shows, or supporting local businesses, this weekend is jam packed. Get out there and enjoy it!

With the news this week that the Rideau Canal Skateway has closed for the season and warmer temperatures in the forecast, it feels like we’re slowly but surely making our way towards spring. This weekend we’ve got an exciting mix of St. Patrick’s Day festivities and March break activities.

The countdown is on as we arrive upon the final weekend before the holidays. If you’ve managed to get your shopping done already (or even if you haven’t), there are lots of festive things to do about town that are plenty more fun than braving a mall in late December.

Winter is coming! In Ottawa, that usually also means the holiday events are coming, so this weekend the twinkle lights, carolling, and festivities are really getting started, but there is plenty of non-Santa related culture happening, so strap in!

There is so much on the go this weekend so let’s not waste any time!

On March 16, a sold-out crowd convened at the Bronson Centre to honour St. Paddy proper, featuring all-star Maritime lineup including the Macéoin-Ramsay Pipe Band, the Bytown Sea Shanty Collective, the inimitable fiddler Ashley MacIsaac, and iconic Canadian rockers Sloan.

Well friends, this is it—the last weekend before we lose all track of time and days of the week. Whether you are celebrating Christmas this weekend or just taking advantage of the festive spirit for some good shopping and vibes, the weekend is looking very holly jolly.
