— Ottawa, ON If you’ve never spent a Canada Day weekend in the nation’s capital, I seriously recommend stopping by a Visitors Centre or, at the very least, browse ht tps://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/ campaigns/canada-day.html for more information – and to find a complete list of events and their official websites. There is nothing like spending Canada Day in Ottawa and it needs to be on your bucket list. You have performances by amazing artists throughout the city.
