Ottawa's Largest Festival Giveaway Series Launched!

This morning, Ottawa Festival Network is thrilled to announce the launch of Ottawa's largest festival giveaway series!

In celebration of its 30th anniversary year, OFN is giving away 30 unique festival experiences and prize packs in 2026. All the prizes in the 30 giveaways are graciously provided by OFN's member organizations.

Released in groups of five, 30 unique prize giveaways will open for a span of four weeks. During that time, individuals can enter as many of the open giveaways as they like. After the 4 weeks are up, another group of five giveaways will open until all 30 are complete. With no cost to participate, you have nothing to lose and amazing memories to win!

Ottawa is home to hundreds of annual festivals throughout the year. OFN hopes this giveaway series will help Ottawa residents and visitors discover and experience as many as possible in 2026.
