The Best Ottawa Events Coming This February 2025

Bundle up! It’s still winter in Ottawa, but the cold never bothers Ottawans anyway. From hockey games and jazz festivals to movie screenings in the snow, there are a ton of fun activities you can do in February 2025.

The most highly-anticipated event of the season is the opening of the Rideau Canal Skateway, the world’s largest skating rink. It’s currently open to the public, and hopefully, conditions stay ideal so we can enjoy a few more weeks of ice skating.
