About us


The Ottawa Lebanese Festival - Celebrating the very best in Lebanese food, entertainment, and culture in the National Capital Region. Established in 1990, the Ottawa Lebanese Festival was formed to celebrate time-honoured tradition along with vibrant deep roots of the Lebanese community in the National capital Region. This non-profit, capital based, cultural event attracts thousands of local and international visitors each year. The festival is organized by the many hard-working volunteers from the St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Cathedral, located at Riverside and Ridgewood, directly across from Mooney’s Bay.

The Ottawa Lebanese Festival takes place each year in July at the Saint Elias Centre – 750 Ridgewood Avenue. Open from 4PM to 11PM Wednesday to Friday; and 11AM to 11PM Saturday and Sunday.
