NAC/Confederation Park

With over 35 festivals each year, Ottawa is becoming known as North America's "City of Festivals." And some of the best take place in the great public squares two minutes across the Laurier Bridge from your door. The world's best Jazz comes here. The world's best Blues comes, too. Every summer, the world's best choral music fills the downtown churches. And as always, the world-class orchestra at the neighbouring National Arts Centre delivers stellar performances. Your spirit will soar. Those lucky enough to walk through these great spaces to work in the adjacent downtown core have one more piece of good fortune to celebrate.
