Take the time this weekend to enjoy the sunshine, reflect on the nature of Truth and Reconciliation and begin October intentionally, friends.

City Sounds Live 2023, a series of free musical performances in multiple outdoor locations across Ottawa, continues until September 28 and will showcase 40+ local artists of various genres across the city.

This week marks the return of one of my favourite summer events: the Grands Feux du Casino Lac-Leamy. And while this means we’re heading towards the end of summer, there’s still plenty to see and do!

Day 1 at Bluesfest featured Brea Lawrenson, bbno$, Dax, Lindsay Ell, J.C, Mikhail Laxton, Melissa Lamm, Son Little, and John Németh, among others. Photos by Landon Entwistle and Curtis Perry captured the evening. 

As the heat settles into the city this week, the summer is clearly in full swing, which means the largest music festival in town is kicking off today. Stephane Dubord previews the acts on stage at Day 1 of Bluesfest.
