Dearest friends
Winterlude (French: Bal de Neige) is an annual festival in
Ottawa and Gatineau that celebrates winter.
First organised in 1979, this event is one of Ottawa's most
important tourist draws, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors each
year.
The event lasts for three weekends, usually the first three
weekends in February and it started last week.
Jacques-Cartier Park in Gatineau is turned into a massive
snow park with ice slides and snow sculptures and hosts numerous events and
activities for children.
Whereas Confederation Park is the site for the ice sculpture
competition, the ice lounge and musical concerts.
However, the focal point of Winterlude is the Rideau Canal
Skateway which at 7.8 kilometres is the largest skating rink in the world.
Skate lovers make it a must to have their skates with them
when they go to the canal and for those who forgot, it is also available for
rental.
Winterlude is an event for everyone. Make it a must to
attend.
So if you plan to be part of this winter celebration this
weekend...You will be served with the 37th annual Bed race, Canada 150 maze,
Military Band Concert, Ice carving championship and many other mesmerizing
