## Caption

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!
