A FANTASY OF FIREWORKS — EXPERIENCE LES GRANDS FEUX DU CASINO LAC-LEAMY

Indulge. Immerse. Enjoy.

Summer, sunsets, and the sizzle of fireworks. It’s how Les Grands Feux turns magic into memories every year while the evenings are warm. Our concierges are delighted to share the ultimate guide to experiencing the spectacle right here in downtown Ottawa.

Discover the best ways to watch the sky come alive — every Wednesday and Saturday from July 30th to August 16th.

START YOUR EVENING EARLY

Indulge in a pre-fireworks feast at one of Ottawa’s exceptional restaurants, like Riviera or Rabbit Hole. Enjoy specialty cocktails, and savour the flavours of the season while the Sun’s still out. Then, stroll along the Canal while it sets.

Why not take your dessert to go? We hear something sweet pairs great with a light show.

CHOOSE YOUR FAVOURITE VIEW

Pick the perfect place to enjoy the fanfare — from breathtaking outdoor vistas to a cozy window seat.

Our SkyLounge offers a panoramic view of Les Grands Feux and Parliament regardless of the weather. With comfy chairs, coffee tables, and more, it’s a beautiful spot to enjoy the show.
Major’s Hill Park, Nepean Point, and Alexandra Bridge all offer exceptional outdoor experiences that allow you to get as close to the River as possible. Watch the fireworks reflect on the water — and don’t forget to take some pictures!
The Museum of History is the official venue for this year’s fireworks show. Buy tickets on the Grands Feux website, and bring lawn chairs to see them up close.

ELEVATE YOUR EXPERIENCE

A few simple touches can make an evening truly special. We recommend packing a picnic with extra pillows, blankets, and snacks — or ordering a special spread to indulge in your favourite treats.

Invite friends, share a special moment with a loved one, or enjoy a private moment of peace. There’s no better time than Les Grands Feux.

INSIDER TIPS

For an up-close lightshow, be sure to order your tickets here.

Or, visit our Skylounge for a luxurious experience no matter the weather.

Whether you're a local or just visiting, we hope you have an unforgettable experience at Les Grands Feux du Casino Lac-Leamy.

IF I COULD GIVE IT AN 11/10, I WOULD

This hotel is perfect. It is spotless and has everything you need to be functional during your stay, from a stovetop to a washer and dryer. The staff is friendly. The common areas are quiet. We were there for Canada Day and the location was close to Parliament, which made it easy to access the site. Book without hesitation!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND... LOVE THIS PLACE

Yet again, I stayed here for my weekend race in Ottawa. First, and most importantly, the staff are incredible! They remembered me from past visits and when i showed up, they asked how things were and about the race—Always saying "Hi" and seeing how things are when coming in and out. Second, room was perfect! Always clean and ready to go. Very comfortable place to stay, the beds are very comfy and I love the bathroom! Third, location couldnt be any better. Close to the Rideau Centre, Parliament, public transport, and plenty of restaurants. If you're someone looking at doing the Tamarack Race Weekend next year, its only a 5 minute walk to the start area. Highly recommend!! Love this place!!! Thank you for another wonderful visit!

10 OUT OF 10, HANDS DOWN

A very clean and upscale boutique hotel that feels cozy and has tons of room. This will be my go-to stay whenever I'm in Ottawa. The receptionists during checkout, as well as checking in, were both superb in welcoming me to the hotel. Close to everything that downtown Ottawa has to offer.
