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.
Common questions
- When is the next event in Ottawa?
- The next listed Ottawa event starts Oct 31, 2026. Exact times are on the organizer's own page, linked from each listing.
- How many Ottawa events are listed?
- 36 upcoming events are listed right now, across 4+ locations. The list updates as organizers announce new dates.
- Are vendor applications open?
- It depends on the event. Each listing shows its current application status, and links to the organizer's own application page where FestLink knows it. Applications are made with the organizer, not through FestLink, unless the listing says it is managed on FestLink.
- How are these listings checked?
- Listings come from organizers who post directly and from public event listings FestLink collects. Each one records the date it was last verified against the organizer's own page, and that date is shown on the listing.
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.
