Ottawa Festival Summit 2026

The National Capital Region is home to hundreds of festivals, fairs and special events each year, showcasing of a diverse range of entertainment, activity, tradition, artistic expression, and cultural exchange. However, these festivals don’t just happen - they are a result of countless hours of hard work, creativity, and most of all, community collaboration.

We invite you to join your community of festival producers, coordinators, suppliers, funders, service providers and supporters at the Ottawa Festival Summit 2026.

This will be an afternoon of valuable professional development, knowledge-sharing, and collective collaboration.

We will:

• Share updates on the action items and priorities identified at our 2025 Summit

• Examine the state of the festival sector, here in Ottawa and across the country
