9 Things To Do In Ottawa This Weekend December 27-29
We are quickly approaching that odd time of year between Christmas and New Year's where no one knows what the date is and you find yourself eating cookies for breakfast and staying in your PJs all day (a.k.a the best time of year). This means the last weekend of 2019 is just around the corner and you can bet we’re excited about it. With so many things to do in Ottawa this weekend, we think you’ll be pretty excited too.
We’ve rounded up nine awesome activities and events happening in the capital this weekend so that you can end your year with one last hurrah.
If you haven’t had your fill of Christmas, there are plenty of festive events still ongoing in the capital so you can get your holly jolly on well after December 25.
So don’t hang up those ugly Christmas sweaters just yet!
But, if you’re ready to step away from the holiday hustle, don’t worry, the capital has you covered, as always.
From hanging out with adorable animals to fishbowl cocktails and adult Nerf gun battles, there’s a little something for everyone.
