Ontario Festival of Small Halls

It’s already the weekend and there’s plenty on the go so let’s dive right in!

And just like that, it’s October and the beginning of fall and spooky season. The temperatures have started to drop a bit, but it’s still plenty nice out to enjoy the beginnings of the fall colours, some Oktoberfest events, and a growing list of spooky nights. Stay safe out there ghouls and goblins.

The Chef’s Table is returning to Ottawa’s National Arts Centre (NAC) this July, hosted at 1 Elgin Restaurant’s outdoor patio along the Rideau Canal. The multi-weekend event invites guests to sample a variety of cuisines from headlining chefs across the country, alongside music performances.

The Ontario Festival of Small Halls has announced their 2022 holiday season lineup “Deck the Small Halls”, and it’s a good one! The festival will feature a variety of Canadian artists at numerous rural venues, including Hawksley Workman, Skydiggers, and The Devin Cuddy Band, among others.

The Ontario Festival of Small Halls returns with a run of shows across Eastern Ontario on Oct. 6–8, 14–16, and 21–23.

Welcome to tulip season, friends! It seems like the whole city has come alive in the last week, with the magnolias exploding off their branches and the tulips suddenly coming out of nowhere. We are solidly heading towards a warm, welcoming spring.

The Ontario Festival of Small Halls has announced a wealth of new live music shows in small communities across Eastern Ontario during the month of May. The lineup features exclusively Canadian artists, including Ashley MacIsaac, Basia Bulat, Great Lake Swimmers, Hawksley Workman, Jessica Pearson & The East Wind, Skydiggers and more.

The Ontario Festival of Small Halls is back with a series of six shows just in time for the holidays. As the name would suggest, generally the festival’s shows take place in small venues in rural Eastern Ontario, and this time they’ll visit Burritts Rapids, Athens, Pakenham, Chaffey’s Lock, Tweed, Westmeath, and… the National Arts Centre!

Spanning three weekends in September, the Chef’s Table series will showcase the work of well-versed Canadian culinary and musical creators. It takes place at the National Arts Centre’s 1 Elgin Restaurant terrace, overlooking the Rideau Canal.

Dinner and a show, combined with a talk-about-it-for-days experience, are going to make these evenings popular.
