I’m not sure how they manage to pull it off year after year, but the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival will soon be here with another exciting FREE concert lineup for 2016 chalk full of Canadian talent!
The festival runs from Thursday June 23rd to Sunday June 26th. It’s a great time for the whole family with free admission to concerts, as well as a variety of artisans, exhibitors, delicious culinary treats, beachside bar, children’s area and non-stop dragon boat racing as 5,000 paddlers battle it out on Mooney’s Bay.
It’s a weekend that my family has marked on the calendar every summer. From the concerts, to the children’s area and the races, there is lots to take in. Be sure to make it a part of your plans and get out to enjoy summer in the capital.
It all takes place at Mooney’s Bay Park and all concerts are in the Hillside Amphitheater.
Check out the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival website for complete details on the festival’s full weekend of activities.
