As you would have noticed over the last few years since moving to Ottawa, I have made a concerted effort to showcase the city in a refreshing way. I think for a long time there was a stigma associated with the nation’s capital – one I can admit I didn’t help to stop in my youth – that it has no culture and nothing to get excited for.
Since moving here I think I’ve helped you realize that that isn’t the case. 2023 is off to an exciting start and we have yet another festival to look forward to on bank street starting on March 17th that you’re not going to want to miss!
Get ready to venture out of the ordinary, and just in time for March break week with the whole family! From March 17th to 19th, Centretown is once again transforming into a magical street with stunning illuminations for The 2023 Fire & Ice Winter Festival
Centretown is once again transforming into a magical street with stunning illuminations. Bank Street will be filled with captivating lights and sound installations for you to interact with. If you’ve never been to Ottawa, Bank Street is one of those special places in the city that is woven into its history and culture.
This year’s Fire & Ice Winter Festival will be the most exciting yet! You’ll not want to miss this free 3-day event spanning over 4 blocks. End the night by dancing your way over to the silent disco.
