SUMMARY:Evenings at Zibi
DESCRIPTION:Evenings at Zibi is a curated outdoor series running approximately every two weeks on Saturdays from 5 to 10 PM between June and September 2026\, set at Head Street Square (310 Miwate Private) in Zibi\, one of Ottawa’s newest and most distinctively designed waterfront neighbourhoods along the Ottawa River between Ottawa and Gatineau. \nEach edition brings together local artisans\, makers\, food vendors\, musicians\, and creative collaborators against the scenic backdrop of the Chaudière Falls district.

The riverfront setting and relaxed pace make it well-suited for families\, couples\, and anyone who enjoys discovering local makers and culture in an outdoor atmosphere. \nEvenings at Zibi is free to attend and easily reached by bike or transit. Exact dates\, vendor lineups\, and programming details are announced closer to each edition on the Zibi and Ottawa Tourism websites. \nEvent details can change\, so verify with the organizer before attending.
