A huge crowd showed up last night for the tree lighting ceremony that officially kicked off the Ottawa Christmas Market! ✨🎄 The vibes were amazing! So much cheer in the air at this beloved Ottawa tradition. ❤️ The Ottawa Christmas Market runs for six weeks, Fridays to Sundays until Dec 28, plus Dec 30 & 31 for NYE! Come check it out! Tons of family-friendly activities, including skating ⛸️ (yes, there are skate rentals + a changing room!). What’s your fave thing at the Ottawa Christmas Market? 🎁✨ 📍 Lansdowne Park, 1000 Exhibition Way 
🚗 Parking: Underground parking fills up fast. Street parking is available, but heads up: apparently no more free parking on weekends. Double-check the machine before you leave your car! #holidayseason #thingstodoinottawa #treelighting #ottawachristmasmarket #ottawaevents #ottawaisnotboring #ottawatourism
