Shape your city.
Support festivals.
Festivals, special events, and fairs are more than just celebratory events; they are powerful tools for economic development, social cohesion, cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and personal growth.
There are numerous ways you, as an individual or as part of your organization, can contribute to help sustain and grow these important events and foster the type of city you want to live and do business in.
Festivals in Ottawa rely on the support of over 16,000 volunteers every year! Join our diverse Volunteer Connect community to join the fun and discover ways you can make a difference.

Advocate for Festivals
Festivals, special events, and fairs contribute significantly to our economy through increased tourism, job creation, and support for small businesses. We are a vital component to our city's continued recovery, long term economic development and overall quality of life for residents and visitors alike.
We call on our festival-loving community to use your voice and ensure that stakeholders can secure essential funding, resources, and policy support that will allow all our favourite festivals to continue to thrive and benefit communities for generations to come.
