Ottawa Events and Festivals

(Ottawa, Ontario - ON, Canada)



Ottawa is a popular city and visitors are well catered for in terms of annual festivals and local events, with plenty of things to see and do throughout the Ottawa calendar. Canada Day, on July 1st, is a national holiday throughout the country and always celebrated in Ottawa, with a number of exciting events during the day and evening.

Each year in February, the Winterlude Festival is one of Ottawa's most appealing and unusual events, where the frozen Rideau Canal becomes the world's longest ice-skating rink, attracting huge crowds of both skaters and spectators.
