I love how the Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival in Ottawa celebrates Indigenous excellence through traditional dances, music, ceremonies, food, workshops, crafts and more! This festival is open for everyone and is one of four seasonal events hosted by Indigenous Experiences at Mādahòkì Farm! You can also visit Mādahòkì Farm year-round to explore the marketplace and see the Ojibwe Spirit Horses! 🙌🏼👏🏼 #MyOttawa #ad @ottawatourism

What an amazing Canada Day weekend here in Ottawa! It was great to see everyone come together to celebrate Canada’s 157th birthday. From the Snowbirds flyby, to great lineup of concerts & performers, the awesome fireworks show - there’s no better place to spend Canada Day than in the capital!
