Glowfair Festival is a non-profit organization, and takes place on June 14 & 15 2019.

In 2014, the Bank Street BIA, headed by Executive Director Christine Leadman, wanted a main street festival unlike anything Ottawa had ever seen.

They wanted to involve Bank Street’s restaurants, bars, merchants and other Bank Street members. They wanted to give back to the community, by creating an entirely free community event.

A collaborative effort by all merchants and members of the BIA, it is a platform through which members can showcase their part of the reimagined Bank Street. 

Celebrate the warmth and the chill of the winter season with Fire & Ice Winter Exhibit on Downtown Bank Street, featuring cinematic light and sound installations.

We promise to melt away your Winter blues.

With over 400 businesses to visit – shop, tour and eat – Downtown Bank offers you the unique experience of Fire & Ice.

Capital Pride creates opportunities to celebrate, advocate, educate and connect people, respecting the full diversity of the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Canada’s capital region. It does so through the annual Fierté dans la Capital(e) Pride festival, where it welcomes everyone to participate, celebrate, and experience being a part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Extend your imagination through Beyond the ART, an augmented digital experience that combines projection, augmented reality, and audio tours to showcase Bank Street in a totally new way!

This no-cost covid-friendly event is a great way to explore the neighborhood’s murals and local shops. Also, follow along the mural tour as we have some great surprises for you!
