Westfest

Join us for Westboro Village's Festival of Music, Art and Life.

Westfest is a party like no other! Each year people from all over attend Westfest during our outdoor, three-day celebration of Canadian art and culture. As a free multidisciplinary art festival dedicated to showcasing Canadian artists and their work in an accessible and inclusive setting, Westfest fills 14 city blocks in Westboro Village with music, contemporary dance, visual art, media art, performance art, spoken word, poetry and fiction readings, buskers, street performers, and much more.

In addition to our street level celebration, our outdoor main stage features some of the best acts this country has to offer. Past headliners have included Bif Naked, Buffy Saint-Marie, Sloan, Joel Plaskett, Jane Siberry, Cowboys Junkies, Kathleen Edwards, and more. Established in 2004, Westfest is a fusion of community and art, and places a special emphasis on diversity, children, and all families. Taking place annually the second weekend of June, Westfest is proud to be Ottawa’s only festival of its size and scope that is free and open to all!
