The PunkOttawa.com Spring Flea
Market
Are you in the throes of your teenage
rebellion? Have you managed to maintain your Ramone-esque image without blossoming
into hipsterdom? Are you interested in local culture, supporting that culture,
and procuring one-of-a-kind treasures while mingling in the comfort of a bunch
weirdos?!
Then come on out to the Punkottawa.com Spring
Flea Market! Ottawa
is not a town in want of craft, market, and spring shows but it’s nice to come
across one that is so unique.
There will be gently-used goods, original
artwork, comics, jewelry, handmade crafts, and so much more. Check out some (or
all, I guess) of the pictures from last year’s event.
Part of the admission goes to local animal welfare charities, which is too sweet. They should be called punkottawa.compassion! (LOLLOL)
Mac Hall – Bronson Centre, 211 Bronson Avenue. Admission by donation. 11 am – 5 pm.

Weekend
Victoria Day Weekend
Yay! This event is extra great because you
can incorporate one of the sights of the Tulip Festival as you enjoy some
Midway rides, food, dessert, buskers, and a PETTING ZOO!
 |
| This is what Victoria Day is actually about. |
The event is set up at the corner of Carling
and Preston where you can grab a beer
at the Dows Lake Pavilion before you meander on over to Commissioners Park
(most lush of the tulipped parks) to see the Man With Two Hats.
Better rest up your neck on Monday morning ‘cause on Monday night you are staring up at the sky to behold the fireworks display (starts at 10 pm).

Also! On their website there’s this little
factoid: “In some parts of Canada,
the holiday is colloquially known as May Two-Four. This phrase has two
meanings: the holiday always falls near the day of May 24th, and a
two-four is slang for a case of 24 bottles of beer.”
Hahaha! Canadians — the awesomer people.
