Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker is Canadiana-themed, bringing a fantastical sense of whimsy to an otherwise technically complex and enchanting fairytale, playing at the NAC this week only.
Hopefully, you’ll have some time off work to enjoy a long weekend. Plenty is happening indoors and out, so check that forecast (and air quality index?!) and hit up some incredible events across our great city. This weekend is another great opportunity to reflect and learn about the land upon which our city is built—the unceded Anishinaabe Algonquin Territory. You can learn more at Native Land.
It’s *technically* the second weekend of Winterlude, but after a rollercoaster week of weather, the Rideau Canal still hasn’t opened and ice carvings are starting to melt (despite the best efforts of NCC staff!). That said, there are still some great Winterlude-esque activities to enjoy this weekend, plus a number of other great Ottawa events.

Alright friends, we’re still very early in summer but numbers are creeping up again for COVID-19 cases, so please take precautions while you enjoy your activities, so we can keep this going. There are plenty of shows, events, festivals and activities, but we’d like for things to continue and to avoid lockdowns and such… so let’s all mask up when indoors or in crowds and we can make up for the past two summers of postponements and pauses!
Pops Conductor Jack Everly returns to the NAC Orchestra after two years for a night of showtunes from two of the best songwriters of the twentieth century: Lerner and Loewe.
This particular rendition of the play is an all-Canadian version of the classic story where Clara is not only joined by the Prince, the Mouse King, and the Sugar Plum Fairy; there are also Mounties, hockey games with snowball fights, and of course, Filbert the Bear.
