Get yourself in the weekend groove with this exclusive Apartment613/Ceremony mix, curated by Gary Franks, one of our fave Ceremony DJs. It’s the perfect soundtrack to deciding how you want to kick up your weekend!
There’s a stellar line up of Northern artists, musicians and more stopping by our city for the next week for Northern Scene – it’s well worth your time to seek some out! There’s a fashion show, an art party featuring 15 artists in one night, and a welcome ceremony to kick it all off tonight. Also? One of your favourite Robert Munsch stories comes to life.
Herd Magazine launches their latest issue this weekend down at Mercury Lounge – the folks behind the magazine are hard (er, herd?) partiers and so it’s likely to be an epic event.
Film lovers, you’ve got your pick: a film fest all about being outside, a teen tech video contest and award ceremony, and an Arctic film series.
Foodies will delight in Dishcrawl, taking a surprise culinary tour through the Market.
Music-wise, you should probably check out Shotgun Jimmie’s record release party at Raw Sugar Friday night, brought to you by the Arboretum festival. Or stop by Zaphod’s for a triple bill on Friday, featuring Thread, Full Tipped Sleeve and Carl Hornswater. John Carroll and the Epic Proportions will be out at the Black Sheep with Birdie White, while bands Her Harbour and The Meek (members of Timber Timbre) will be at St Luke’s. Metal fans will stop by Cafe Dekcuf for Bison BC and Swarm of Spheres, while punk rock lovers should be at Mavericks for what might be the fullest night yet.
There’s plenty of dancing to be had this weekend, outside of those music shows. Ceremony is a-happening, as mentioned, and the Museum of Nature is having their final Nature Nocturne of the season. It’s also Double Barrel at Mugshots, and the newly revamped Elmdale Tavern takes a trip through the 70s and 80s on Saturday night, or you can just have a dose of the 80s down in Old Ottawa South.
Sunday? Burlesque brunch is back.
Anything else you’re up to this weekend, Ottawa?
