The public is invited to attend Winter Celebration on Saturday, February 3, 2024, from 12:30 to 4 pm at Rideau Hall. Once again, this event is officially part of Winterlude. All activities are free of charge. A free Winterlude shuttle bus will run in a loop from downtown (intersection of Metcalfe and Queen Streets) to Rideau Hall every hour between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. with the last bus departing Rideau Hall at 4:30 pm. Once the list of activities is available, it will be posted here.
Noise exemption: The City has received a request for a noise exemption for the grounds of Rideau Hall, 1 Sussex Drive, on Feb. 3 from 8 am to 5 pm. As part of Rideau Hall's annual Winter Celebration, a live band typically performs on the grounds to offer entertainment to event attendees. This is usually folk, easy-listening style music, and performed with minimal amplification during the event hours (12:30 pm to 4 pm). Other than a potential sound-check just prior to the event start time, noise should not be an issue outside of the event hours.
