Things to do in Ottawa this spring

It’s time to say goodbye to the winter blues and see what the nation’s capital has to offer this time of year. Other than spring cleaning, here’s a list of things you and your friends can do this spring in Ottawa.

Outdoor festivals don’t have to be reserved just for hot summers. Whether you’re a foodie or a florist, Ottawa offers a range of different festivals in the spring. Mark your calendars and give these festivals a go.

Who knew sauvignon paired so nicely with succulents? With Plant Nite events at all of your favourite Ottawa hotspots, invite your friends, grab a drink, and create your own terrarium to take home. Reserve your spot—Plant Nites fill up fast.

Springtime is when food trucks slowly come out of garage hibernation. No matter what you’re craving, there’s probably a food truck somewhere in the city for you. Here are a few of Ottawa’s favourite food trucks.

As the leaves turn green again, plant yourself on a rooftop patio and take in views of the city from above. Here are a few restaurants to enjoy good food, company, and scenery.

Breathe in and breathe out—the wait is over. Yoga classes on Parliament Hill return on May 9. Practise your warrior poses every Wednesday on the lawn in front of Parliament.

Didn’t get the chance to complete this spring to-do list? Don’t worry. Summer is just around the corner and Ottawa has so much more in store for you.
