July truly is the best time of year to be in the city of Ottawa. Not only is patio season in full swing, but July also signals the arrival of some of the greatest events Ottawa has to offer. Ottawa’s Bluesfest is in North America’s top 10 festivals and happens to feature some of the best and most talented artists you can think of.

With all the focus being on Ottawa’s Bluesfest in July, if you’re paying a visit to Ottawa in June don’t forget about TD’s Ottawa Jazzfest. The legendary Earth Wind and Fire is headlining a lineup that always seems to attract some of the most talented musicians you will hear anywhere. Even comedian Steve Martin will be making an appearance with the Steep Canyon Rangers, in a performance that will entertain audiences on numerous levels!
