Kicking things off, we’ve got Chinatown Remixed all day Saturday. From jellyfish in cafe windows to a main stage o’ fun, you’ll want to be wandering Somerset Street from dawn til dusk. Don’t fret too much if you can’t make it – the exhibits will continue on for the next month.
Tonight, Shannon Rose and the Thorns are out at the Black Sheep, with Whitebrow stopping by to play some tunes from their new album. Saturday night, it’s the Ottawa Rock Lottery – your chance to see Ottawa’s best musicians get shaken up and stirred together, resulting in creative new songs and possibly the next big music group. Also that night, the Glorious Moonrockets are having an album release party, with Dagger Eyes and Brabazon joining the fun. Sunday? Groove to the spins of DJ Sweetcheeks down at the Hintonburg Public House, which is also the evening that Siach HaSadeh will be playing traditional Chassidic melodies down at Umi Cafe. Want to be part of a giant jam session? Head to Parc Moussette in Gatineau from 4-6pm on Sunday. A new concert series also kicks off on Sunday, with Nationless Nights: Edition Zero happening at the Rainbow Bistro.
Vaudeville and burlesque come together courtesy the Mansfield Brothers, who are presenting A Vaudelesque Revue tonight at Maxwell’s.
And if you’re a lady and love to code, there’s a mobile development workshop happening at Shopify this weekend – and don’t worry if you have no coding experience at all. They’ll teach you everything you need to know about the interweb!
The Tulip Festival wraps up this weekend, with Lucky Ron and the Dusty Drifters playing Friday night and Ukrainia! on stage Saturday evening. There’s also fireworks, folk dances and of course, flowers. The Croatian Folklore Festival, in its 39th year, is also happening down at the NAC on Sunday.
And finally: get out and dance it up in celebration of spring with the Timekode DJs Friday night.
What else are you up to this weekend, Ottawa?
