Have you stopped by the Fringe Courtyard yet? 👀

Located at 67 Nicholas Street, this is where you’ll find the @ottawafringe Community Series, a hub for free, community-driven programming that celebrates local artists, underrepresented voices, and creative collaboration. Alongside the programming, visitors can enjoy food vendors and drink specials that help make the Courtyard a welcoming gathering place.

Earlier this week, we visited the Courtyard and experienced the RHOZE Garden Sound Café. 🎧🎶🫶

The Ottawa Fringe Festival is on until Sunday, don’t miss out! Details can be found at the link in our bio.

We’re hosting a free festival pop-up series across downtown Ottawa this summer! Once a month, multiple iconic Ottawa festivals will take to the streets offering a pop-up experience for all to enjoy.

As part of the City of Ottawa’s Street Seats initiative, these pop-ups will be located at various sites including two of the Uncommon Spaces (Bank & Waverley and Bank & MacLaren) and the recently created Somerset & Cambridge installation in Chinatown.

The series kicks off this Thursday, June 25! More information can be found at the link in our bio 🔗

🎟 Free to attend • No ticket required! • Accessible spaces
