Due to the lack of parking for Ottawa Reggae Festival patrons on site, organizers highly recommend the use of public transit, taxis. Free parking is available on weekends at City lots and meters located within the downtown core. This area is bounded by the Rideau Canal to Bronson Avenue and Wellington Street to Catherine Street. Please check parking signs as time restrictions may still apply.
For more information, please visit the City of Ottawa website for a list of nearby lots.
For walking directions to festival, it's best to picture a landmark. If you can see yourself in front of the Parliament buildings, imagine a short walk west on Wellington Street. This will provide a view of the Canadian War Museum, about a kilometre away. Walk toward the museum and you can't miss the main box office.
