Looking for information on spring festivals and events in Ottawa, Eastern Ontario, the Outaouais and upstate New York? I’ve just published my first-ever Ottawa Road Trips e-book, and it has details on more than 100 great reasons for a road trip—everything from food festivals and garage sales to marathons and music festivals. (You can click the photo at left, or the link at the bottom of this page, for details on how to buy it.)
Plan ahead with this three-month guide, which provides dates, addresses, websites and more for all sorts of events from April to June 2019, including these popular sales, races and festivals—some of which you might not even know about yet!
- 1000 Islands Writers Festival in Gananoque
- Vintage Clothing Sale in Carleton Place
- Festival of the Maples in Perth
- Juvenis Festival in Kingston
- Blue Metropolis in Montreal
- Kiwanis Walleye World Fishing Derby in Bay of Quinte
- Wakefield Covered Bridge Run in Wakefield
- Cheerfully Made Market in Almonte
- Rochester Lilac Festival in Rochester

- Lobsterfeast in Russell
- New York State Chinese Lantern Festival in Syracuse

- and many, many more!
The 7,500-word e-book is currently available on iBooks (for Apple devices) and Kobo (for Kobo tablets), and it should be available soon from the Google Play store (for Android devices). And it’s only $4.99!
Check out my link at Books2Read.com to buy!
If you do decide to buy the book, many thanks! This website is a bit of a labour of love, and book purchases help me keep it going. The plan is to make this a quarterly series, so watch for my summer guide in late June 2019.
