City Sounds

Locally based musicians are eligible to submit original music for the City of Ottawa’s 3-1-1 phone lines.

Fall schmall. There are still plenty of great activities to enjoy—even if you’re trying to avoid pumpkin spice everything and back-to-school traffic. (Not that there’s anything wrong with pumpkin spice.) Check it out and let us know what you explore this weekend!

It’s a jammed pack long weekend so let’s get right to it!

The end of August is upon us. It may not seem like it, with the blazing hot weather we’ve been having, but summer is winding down. Thankfully, there is plenty to do this weekend – whether in person or virtually – to help you make the most of one of the last weekends of the season. 

The Ottawa Music Industry Coalition and various Business Improvement Associations have teamed up to offer 24 free, outdoor concerts over three weekends, starting in Chinatown on August 20.

The City of Ottawa’s rebranded #ottmusic program is about more than 3-1-1 waiting music this year. Locally based artists can now apply for OC Transpo busking permits and submit music to a new curated playlist.
