Back-to-back Canada Day celebrations and performances await you and your family!

Brockville has become a hotspot for the Canada Day long weekend over the past several years as the 1000 Islands Regatta brings the heart stopping action on the water during the day and as the sun sets all eyes turn to the main stage which has played host to some of Canada’s biggest recording artists including Honeymoon Suite, 54-40, Kim Mitchell and more.

We celebrated Canada’s 150th birthday at the Western Fair District July 1 & 2 by kickin’ it trackside with the great folks at Trackside Music Festival, and what better way to celebrate than with a lineup of artists packed with some of our favourite Canadians!

Thousands of patriotic Canadians braved the line-ups, the rain and mud, the street closures, and the porta-potties to celebrate our nation’s birthday Parliament Hill style. Those who finally made it through the security gates were not disappointed.

A common saying you’ll hear frequently when living in Ottawa is that it is the city that fun forgot. I’d like to make a case for the exact opposite and all you have to do is take a look at the summer festival season.

Ottawa–Gatineau will host a full weekend of Canada Day activities and performances for Canada 150

OTTAWA, June 1, 2017 /CNW/ – Get ready to celebrate Canada Day like never before! Today, the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, revealed details of the three-day-long Canada Day festivities taking place in Canada’s Capital Region. From June 30 to July 2, an array of incredible activities and performances will take place at three official sites: Parliament Hill, the Canadian Museum of History and Major’s Hill Park.

For many of us the May long weekend signifies the unofficial beginning of summer. Summer – with its warm days and long nights, gathering with family and friends to enjoy good eats, fine weather and the great outdoors.

It’s a difficult task, getting a crowd out on a Monday night in Ottawa. Especially when it’s a freezing rain kind of night. As I arrived at Barrymore’s on an especially miserable winter evening, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Ottawa was pumped and ready to party on a school night.
