events during the festival week

Located moments away from downtown, Ottawa’s Chinatown is a vibrant business, residential and tourist area offering local dinning, shopping and entertainment.

Merchants from all over the world not only contribute their unique culture, foods, and products to the exciting urban village in the heart of Canada’s multicultural capital, but also bring their creativity to share with their neighbors, clients and visitors.

These are events organized by the businesses to create more festive atmosphere:
