Ottawa Riverfest Returns

Something that many Ottawans circle on their calendar each year starts tonight.

Riverfest starts officially at five with the 44th annual “Welcomeburger” at Washington Square Park in downtown Ottawa.  From tonight thru Sunday, Riverfest features everything from an art show, carnival and flea market to the “Taste of Ottawa” and live music on the riverfront.

The carnival starts tonight at six while “the Taste” and live music begins tomorrow with bands “Maggie Speaks” and “Rock Force”.

Everything except carnival wristbands and food at the “Taste” is free.
