A Firework Festival Is Coming To Ottawa For 2 Weeks & It's Going To Be Explosive

There will be cocktails and food trucks! 🎆

Staff Writer

Get ready for two weeks of fireworks bursting across the night sky this summer.

Casino Lac-Leamy Sound Of Light finally returns on August 7 to 21 at the Canadian Museum Of History.

This year they are doubling the number of firework shows, so there will be 10 magical nights alternating between two themes, legends of fire and superhero.

Every evening the venue will open at 6:30 p.m., and you'll be able to sip cocktails on the outdoor terrace, try mouthwatering bites at the local food trucks, and explore the festive setting before the show starts at 9:15 p.m.

If you are eager to join in the fun, you can get tickets for $12, which gives you a reserved seat so you can kick back and watch.
