Welcome to your May long weekend, Ottawa! The weather may be questionable, but the number of awesome events is not. Read on for some of our top picks.

Ahh the first weekend of December! Whether you’re looking to cozy up in front of a show (be it film, theatre or YouTube), or get out there to enjoy some holiday cheer, there’s something for everyone.

The best thing about summer weekends in this city? There is so much happening, that there is always something to do! The weather is hot, it’s a perfect time to get outside, and this weekend is burgeoning at the seams with all kinds of great goings on. Take a look for yourselves. All Weekend The […]

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.

Wandering around Ottawa and Gatineau, you may have already spotted one of the surest signs of spring in the region. Close to one million tulips have been planted for the 66th Canadian Tulip Festival, kicking off Friday May 11 and continuing until Monday May 21.

It might not be a long weekend, but there are more than enough events to fill your weekend.

Just like that, 2017, Ottawa’s big year, is over. With so much going on over the last year, it seems fitting that we celebrate the end of 2017 and welcome 2018 with a bang.

Well folks, we’ve had a few snowfalls and this Friday we flip the calendar to December. Whether you want to bundle up inside or get cozy with some hot chocolate outside, we’ve got you covered this weekend!
