National Capital Commission

Welcome (back) to Ottawa! After a busy, hot, and fun summer, it’s back to school/spooky/cozy fall drink season.

Happy Capital Pride Ottawa! There are plenty of cool events happening this weekend (and beyond!) to celebrate pride in the capital, plus a bunch of great music and theatre shows all weekend long.

Maison Charron opened in June in a historic building in Jacques-Cartier Park with stunning views of the Ottawa River, Kìwekì Point, the Alexandra Bridge, and Parliament. The seasonal menu features sharable starters, pizza, dessert, and signature cocktails.

With the return of some classic Ottawa events (hello Ribfest!), it feels like we’ve finally made it to summer in the city.

It’s a jam packed weekend with tulips, festivals, markets, and more!

This weekend’s got something for everyone: music, art, food, and spooky fun!

Don’t miss this year’s Open NCC on Saturday Sept. 14 from 10am-3pm for a behind-the-scenes peek into the day-to-day activities and projects happening in the National Capital Region.

Hard to believe we’re nearing the end of August, but there is still plenty of fun to be had in Ottawa this weekend!

Looking to stay active over the winter? Here’s a roundup of urban winter trails that makes it easy!

The National Capital Commission’s free fall shuttle returns for the 2023 Fall Rhapsody season. From September 30 to October 22 (running weekends and Thanksgiving Monday), the free hop on/hop off shuttle is one of the best ways of getting into Gatineau Park to check out the fall colours.

This weekend is jammed packed with activities so let’s dive right in.

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!

We’re more than halfway through January and it’s finally starting to feel like winter.

We’ve made it to the end of another trip around the Sun. From the Weekend Rounduppers to you, happy New Year! Check out our list of great NYE events, and our list of ways to kick off 2023 in style (and probably outdoors!).

Welcome to another October weekend roundup! Fall is showing itself across the National Capital Region and rain or shine, there’s plenty to do this long weekend.
