Winterlude 2027

Ottawa, ON

Official website

Ottawa's event calendar runs year-round: fall fairs and harvest markets in September and October, a dense run of Christmas and craft markets from November, and Winterlude in February.

Each listing links to the organizer's official website. Where we know an event's vendor application page, it is linked directly so makers, food vendors and food trucks can apply with the organizer.

FestLink lists both organizer-managed events and public directory listings. For directory listings, applications are made with the organizer on their own website, not through FestLink.
