Ottawa Craft Beer Week (OCBW) is back, and as lots of us continue to think local, and support local Canadian businesses, this is the perfect opportunity to explore the best beers in the city. Building on last year’s success, the second edition of the week long celebration follows the same, simple model to make it easy to try new beers, meet new brewers and find your next favourite hangout.
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!
Ottawa Craft Beer Week aims to highlight the creativity and diversity of Ottawa’s craft beer scene while fostering a sense of community and collaboration. Taking place from August 23-30, there is no fee to participate, and you can even win prizes by filling out your free passport with stamps as you work your way across the city.
It always feel like we’ve made it to summer after hitting that first long weekend! This weekend, despite only last a couple shorts days, is jammed packed with events and activities.
April showers have brought us May flowers! Although we’re still a week away from the start of the annual Canadian Tulip Festival, some of the early tulips have bloomed in Major’s Hill Park, along the Rideau Canal, and at Dow’s Lake. While I could easily spend a weekend touring the tulips, there are plenty of other options to pass your time this weekend.
It looks like we have a warm, but wet, weekend in store for us here in Ottawa. While the weather may have you feeling a little grey, there are plenty of fun events going on around town that are sure to add a little brightness to an otherwise cloudy time.
We have arrived at the first weekend of Winterlude here in the nation’s capital! While it doesn’t look as though the canal will be open for skating at any point, there are still plenty of fun outdoor winter activities to enjoy in this mild winter weather, as well as several indoor activities, if that is more your style.
This week’s snowfall is great news for all the outdoor enthusiasts who have been (im)patiently waiting for winter. Read on for some ideas on how to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors, plus some suggestions for those looking to stay cozy.
