Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival has announced its all-Canadian musician lineup, including headliners Dear Rouge, Tim Baker, and Bedouin Soundclash.
The Strumbellas haven’t played here since they graced the CityFolk stage back in 2019. They are now ready to re-emerge, with a new single, a new lead singer, and a renewed focus. We reconnected with keyboardist Dave Ritter recently to catch up.
Today’s announcement is the first of several before the full concert schedule is made available by Dragon Boat Festival organizers.
USS closed out the 2019 Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival at Mooney’s Bay Park.
After a fantastic Day 2 Friday that turned into a massive East Coast kitchen party with Alan Doyle, Day 3 of the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival Saturday features another trio of Canadian artists.
Some of Ottawa’s best events are when the many East Coast expats get together for a kitchen party in their adoptive city.
Headlining the opening night is Half Moon Run. While they may technically be based in Montreal, lead singer Devon Portielje hails from our fair city, so we claim them as our own as well.
The solstice is upon us. It is the first weekend of the summer and the city is alive with countless ways to celebrate the official arrival of this beautiful season.
The Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival takes place at Mooney’s Bay Park from June 20–23, 2019. Admission is free.
