Ottawa Chamberfest and Rideau Canal Festival present:

The Second Annual Musical Breeze Bicycle Parade
Lansdowne Park
Registration begins at 1:00 p.m.
Waves depart, beginning at 1:15 p.m.

The Rideau Canal Festival and the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival have teamed up to offer cycling enthusiasts a unique way to enjoy a ride along the Rideau Canal. The Musical Breeze Bicycle Parade is an outdoor musical and cycling event in which participants of all ages can learn how to tune into the sounds around them, and actively contribute to Ottawa’s “soundscape”!

Departing at Lansdowne Park, participants will encounter a series of mini concerts and assist in music-making by observing posted instructions such as “ring your bell for 8 seconds” or “sing in a high pitch” as they make their way along the route to Marion Dewar Plaza at City Hall. There, they will be part of a larger musical performance with musicians from the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival.

This is a great way for families to celebrate the Rideau Canal Festival’s zero footprint and active-living themes.

Don't have a bicycle but would still like to participate the parade? Join the Chamberfest Community Hand Drum Collective and be part of the Musical Wheel grand finale in Marion Dewar Plaza! For more information contact www.treefrogpercussion.ca.
