Fall is in the air. That means it’s time for our annual celebration of Ottawa’s vibrant environmental movement. This year, we’re also celebrating Ecology Ottawa’s 10th anniversary. We need your help to make this year’s EcoFest the largest and most successful event in Ecology Ottawa’s history!
Taking place on Thursday, October 12 at the Aberdeen Pavilion at Lansdowne Park, EcoFest will bring together residents, organizations, businesses and community groups who work tirelessly towards making Ottawa the green capital of Canada.

We are expecting 1,200 guests in attendance, over 80 booths from community partners, businesses, and food/drink vendors, and a series of dynamic and engaging speakers.
