The 45th Ottawa Jazz fest kicked off this weekend on high with standout performances from The Roots and a lineup of exceptional talent to kick off the summer festival season.

Festival season is well and truly upon us friends! Ottawa is coming alive, now that summer is really getting going, and the city is going to be full of music, theatre, dancing, eating and playing all weekend. Whether you are celebrating the solstice, getting into a dragon boat, taking in a Fringe show (or three) or getting out that lawn chair for some live outdoor music, we’ve got your big weekend plans here. Stay safe, stay hydrated, and stay kind to one another!

So if there’s a local artist, band, or music industry professional you feel deserves recognition, now’s the time to get those nominations in!

Side by Side Weekend is back for a fourth year and will take place in Club SAW’s courtyard and indoor venues from July 26 to 28. The lineup is filled with exciting local talent as well as an eclectic array of artists from all over the place, including Pony Girl, Hot Garbage, Sun Junkies, Sasha Cay, Sorry Snowman, and so many more!

At Club SAW this Sunday, May 26, is the Mind Altering Festival, which combines a diverse menu of multidisciplinary arts that is sure to expand your mind.

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. 

Congratulations to all of the winners and to everyone who worked on putting together such a successful event!

The fifth annual Capital Music Awards will take place on May 16 at Bronson Centre Music Theatre.

Weekend one of the 2024 Ice Dragon Boat Festival saw free performances from Jasmine Trails, Pony Girl, and OMBIIGIZI at the Rainbow Bistro. Photographer Marc Lepage captured the night in photographs.

Local music enthusiasts can look forward to an equally strong lineup of Ottawa artists like Jasmine Trails, Pony Girl, fanclubwallet, Alanna Sterling, Craig Cardiff, Summersets, Loon Choir, Graven, Steph La Rochelle, and more.

We may be in the throes of winter, but you wouldn’t know it this Saturday as Ottawa’s hottest art-pop act takes the Fourth Stage at the National Arts Centre.
