Ottawa Bluesfest is Canada's largest music festival and one of North America's premier summer events, held each July on LeBreton Flats in the heart of the capital with over 300,000 attendees across eleven days of blues, rock, pop, R&B, and world music. Despite its name, Bluesfest presents an eclectic mainstream programme that has featured everyone from Foo Fighters to Kendrick Lamar, making it Canada's most accessible major festival. Ottawa hotels near Parliament Hill and the Rideau Canal are convenient for the LeBreton Flats site and fill quickly during the festival.
