My Ottawa SCENE

There's more to Ottawa than just eats and events. The Ottawa Scene is where we connect with others spotlighting local creators, unique businesses, and a wide range of seasonal activities that make Ottawa a special place to explore. Beyond food and events, the Ottawa Scene shines a light on the people, neighbourhoods, and experiences that bring the city’s people and culture to the forefront.

Whether you’re discovering Ottawa's local hidden gems or looking for seasonal things to do like fall hikes or winter ice skating, there’s always something happening in this city.

​

In addition to celebrating Ottawa’s creators and businesses, there’s plenty to explore right outside the city. From nearby road trips to Prince Edward County for wine tasting to scenic drives for autumn colours in Gatineau Park, there are endless adventures just a short drive away. 

​

Connect with the local creative community, explore Ottawa happenings, or plan your next weekend getaway. The Ottawa Scene offers an insider's look at what makes the city and its surroundings so dynamic and exciting. There’s always something new to see, do, or discover!
