TD Place

The truly final weekend of the summer is upon us and, whether you are soaking up every last second of the season, or celebrating the impending arrival of fall, there is so much to do here in Ottawa to enjoy this weekend.

The final weekend of August is upon us and, while summer might be winding down, there is still a lot to do around town to enjoy what is left of the season.

One of the six founding clubs of Canada’s first professional women’s soccer league, Ottawa Rapid FC are past the halfway point of their first Northern Super League campaign. They currently sit in third place with 21 points and a record of 6W-5L-3D, and the best goal differential in the league.

Canada’s Women’s Rugby Team is back in Ottawa and aiming to make history—again. Ahead of their highly anticipated Aug. 1st clash against the United States at TD Place (7pm kickoff), the team was officially introduced to local media and fans at National Art Gallery on July 29.

It may not feel like it, with the weather still being generally chilly, but we have made it to May! Spring market season is upon us, and there are several of them happening this weekend, alongside a bunch of other fun things—so without further ado, we give you the Weekend Roundup!

The first weekend of April has arrived and with it comes many fun activities around town. Get out there and enjoy yourselves and celebrate the end of yet another work week.

Atlético Ottawa kicks off their season this Saturday, April 5 at 2pm, when they take on HFX Wanderers at TD Place.

Even those of us who aren’t big fans of winter are happy to see the canal opened, which means we can officially enjoy winter! Details below on how to check canal skate conditions and openings/closures, but also lots of indoor activities if you need to warm up.

Fans of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord Of The Rings and Howard Shore’s epic film score won’t want to miss an incredible evening with 250 musicians from the FILMharmonique Orchestra and Choir performing The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring In Concert.

The holidays are officially over and we’ve stepped firmly into January 2025! If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get out and enjoy this city more, Apt613 can help you do that – we’ve compiled this handy dandy roundup of what’s going on in Ottawa this weekend.

We’re officially only two weeks out from Christmas Day, and if you’re anything like me, there’s still so much gift shopping to do. With the help of our community, Apt613 has put together a guide for those of us who are looking for last-minute gift ideas from around the Ottawa area that would make perfect stocking stuffers or dinner party offerings.

It was a Tuesday night time machine at TD Place as four iconic 80s era bands shared the stage for a night of nostalgic feel good hits from Spoons, Men Without Hats, A Flock of Seagulls, and Honeymoon Suite.

If this past weekend’s shows with early 2000s bands Mariana’s Trench, Tokyo Police Club and Hollerado wasn’t far enough back for you, then you’re in luck, as TD Place will be doused in even more nostalgia Tuesday night that might be more to your liking.

Last weekend may have brought us an extra hour of sleep, but we are now playing in dark mode for the foreseeable future, so don’t squander away those precious daytime hours and enjoy yourself this weekend. If you’re worried that you won’t be able to make the most of what little daytime we have this time of year, don’t worry; there is also plenty to do after darkness falls.

It has been another hot week here in the 613, but we’ve made it through and this weekend promises blue skies, sunshine, and some milder weather for us to enjoy. There is also plenty going on this weekend in our great town, so get out there and have some fun! It is the summer, after all!
