The Rideau Canal Festival and the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival have teamed up to offer cycling enthusiasts a unique way to enjoy a ride along the Rideau Canal.

The Musical Breeze Bicycle Parade is an outdoor musical and cycling event in which participants of all ages can learn how to tune into the sounds around them, and actively contribute to Ottawa’s “soundscape”!

Departing at Lansdowne Park, participants will encounter a series of mini concerts as they make their way along the route to Marion Dewar Plaza at City Hall.

There, they will be part of a larger musical performance with musicians from the Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival. This is a great way for families to to celebrate the Rideau Canal Festival’s Aim for Zero Footprint and active-living themes.
The 2010 Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival is a presentation of the Ottawa Chamber Music Society

The Musical Wheel finale is presented by TorQ Percussion Quartet with the Chamberfest Community Hand Drum Collective.
