Ottawa Event Date:
Friday July 31, 2009; 6pm - 9pm
Join us for Ottawa's first 7,000 Metre Party, as we kick-off the Festival with an evening of dancing, featuring african dance, and a festive atmosphere that is sure to sweep you off your feet!
Come celebrate and toast to Ottawa's UNESCO World Heritage Site with a Colonel By Cocktail! The party is open to everyone, and completely free!
This year, one of the Festival's 4 Official Sites is…the Rideau Canal itself! With seven Canal Metre Lounges located along a 7km strip of the Rideau Canal, the lounges all overlook the scenic Rideau Canal while offering a host of activities and culinary experiences designed to heighten visitors’ enjoyment of the canal.
What’s more, each lounge will follow the Festival’s Aim-for-Zero-Footprint approach – with special offers for Adopt-a-Metre participants!
