The programming will compliment these themes, enhancing the experience for festival-goers.

This Winterlude guide has me so excited for the season! Sparks Street sounds like the perfect place to soak up all the festivities. I’m already planning my trip and you can bet I’ll be wearing my cozy Longmire Jacket to stay warm while exploring the ice carvings and enjoying those maple treats.

I’ve always loved winter festivals, and Winterlude on Sparks Street sounds absolutely magical! From Indigenous experiences to maple-inspired food, live DJs, and the Parliament immersive show — it’s everything I want in a cozy winter getaway. I’m already planning my trip to Ottawa this February to soak in the vibes, taste the bannock and cedar tea, and admire those ice sculptures. Honestly, I’ve been budgeting everything lately — even checked shib to usd just to make sure I could splurge a little on those maple treats. Can’t wait to experience the joy, culture, and warmth Winterlude brings
