Top 5: How to Finish Off Your Summer in Ottawa!

 

Hey Top 5-ers!! Hope you are enjoying the lovely summer weather and keeping safe and healthy.

 

For our July blog, we’re going to share 5 amazing events going on in Ottawa from July-August so you can enjoy the outdoors while supporting local businesses.

 

The past year and a half have been… interesting to say the least – so we have to make the most of the summer and take advantage of Ottawa’s incredible events being offered. 

 

Here are our Top 5 event recommendations to explore this summer!

 

Beyond Van Gogh:

Runs from August 5th – September 16th

“In an imaginative and immersive presentation crafted for our unique times by world-renowned audiovisual designers, Beyond Van Gogh uses cutting-edge projection technology to create an engaging journey into the world of Van Gogh. Using his dreams, his thoughts, and his words to drive the experience as a narrative, we move along projection swathed walls wrapped in light, colour, and shapes that swirl, dance and refocus into flowers, cafes and landscapes.” (Beyond Van Gogh, 2021)
