the start of festival season in Ottawa

Well the Ottawa International Festival spring edition is wrapped up. Like so many of Ottawa's festivals it continues to be an overwhelming success. This year the Ottawa Writer's festival was held in St Brigid's a deconsecrated church. Seeing as several of the events were to big for the biggest room at the previous location. Neil Wilson quipped this was a match made in heaven. The Tulip Festival is already going on, and soon enough The Chamberfest, Bluesfest, Jazzfest, Reggaefest and Folkfest will arrive before the summer is over. Even after the summer is over, Ottawa will have the Ottawa International Animation festival in September. If you can check out as many of these as you can.
