Don’t tell Mother Nature, but fall is here and so is the spooky season. There are lots of events this weekend—but not all are spooky if you’re not quite ready for that yet! All weekend Until Oct.8, you can catch the wonderful production of Cabaret by Ovation Productions at Meridian Theatres. Check out Apt613’s review. […]
And just like that, it’s another glorious long weekend in Ottawa! We have got a doozy of a weekend lined up, so fire up the group chat and start making your plans!
Whenever someone tells you Ottawa is a boring government town, tell them I said they clearly never had to put together a Weekend Roundup. I am constantly baffled by the amount of things going on across the capital – and people’s ability to somehow miss them! Tell your friends – send them to Apartment 613. […]
Laura and Samara spend their days as non-profit unicorns and fill every spare minute exploring the world of musical theatre as BFFs (that’s Broadway Friends Forever). Follow @bffs613 on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. A night of Sondheim music, a great local musical theatre group, and a fab local venue? We’re in! Besides, what better show […]
Ottawa’s music scene is coming to life in March with an array of exciting concerts and festivals happening throughout the city. This month’s lineup features diverse musical events, including old-school hip-hop, indie rock bands, and a locally produced festival with a ton of attitude.

Ottawa’s got plenty going on for the first weekend of 2023. Check out our Weekend Roundup here and start off your year the right way.
As we head into peak spooky season, there are plenty of Halloween-themed things happening. But, if that’s not your jam, don’t worry—there’s lots to do without needing a costume.
The final weekend in August is upon us and fall is just around the corner. There are plenty of things to see and do this weekend to squeeze every last bit of fun out of this wonderful season we call summer.
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 are one work week closer to real spring now, friends. Can you feel it? While the blossoms are slower to arrive than last year, we are counting our blessings and watching closely for the next perfect moment to hit a patio! This weekend is one for the books, with the launch of undercurrents—back in person!—and the Ottawa Grassroots Festival bringing new musical voices to downtown. The NAC is hitting it out of the park, as usual, and there is some great eco-conscious ultra-local shopping to do to round out the perfect spring weekend.
What a weekend we have in store! Pack your sunglasses and your umbrella because spring is on its way.
There are lots of ways to help support struggling businesses downtown — even if you don’t have money to order gift certificates or products with. Go to your favourite business’ social media and like, save, and share their posts to help spread the word. If you can support financially, don’t forget to check ahead if businesses are open and operating fully before heading down!
Family Day weekend is upon us, but things are still pretty weird around town. Stay safe, support local businesses, and check in on friends and family.
This gift guide is for your creative friends and family, whether they create or consume art, or enjoy doing both. Feel free to treat yourself to these awesome experiences and opportunities too. After all, when do we ever have too much art and culture in our lives?!
Happy November! As more events keep going live, and cool things are popping up all over town, I hope you’re enjoying yourselves, friends! We are solidly into that part of the year when snow could be on the horizon any day now, and Mother Nature is keeping us all on our toes. Take this as […]
