Somehow it’s the end of August already and it feels like the weather is turning cooler, and that means a long weekend full of things to do!

Check out Curtis Perry’s photos from House of PainT’s 20th anniversary celebration.

We’re nearing the end of August, but there’s still plenty of summer to be enjoyed.

August is here and there’s plenty to pack in before you start thinking about the end of summer or back to school! Whether you want indoors, outdoors, laid-back or high-energy, there’s something for you happening this weekend.

It is Ottawa’s favourite season, friends: festival season! Coming hard on the heels of Jazzfest is our world-famous Bluesfest. Mix in the Lebanese Festival and the Stewart Park festival in Perth and you have got one perfect 613 weekend. Enjoy the sunshine and hit the beach, support a local patio, or take in any of the amazing musical acts happening around the city.

We made it! The May long weekend always feels like the official beginning of great weather and summer plans… though last week sure felt like the middle of July. Check out all the great activities this weekend and stay safe!

While it faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Paint it Up! mural program found a way to keep moving forward and continues to provide Ottawa’s youth with opportunities for personal growth and the chance to engage with the local art community.

House of PainT’s street dance battles are back and taking place in September throughout Ottawa. Check out “Take It to The Streets” in a neighbourhood near you to either watch or compete for a prize!

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!

SAW invites music fans and film lovers to congregate under the stars for a special edition of Summer Nights, a summer festival every weekend this month.
