Today, Ottawa is a vibrant city, though often overlooked in favour of the more popular tourist destinations of Toronto, Quebec City and Montreal. But perhaps this will all change in 2017. The biggest celebrations for Canada's birthday will be held in Ottawa, and the annual Canada Day celebrations on 1st July – when Parliament Hill becomes a concert venue, packed with revellers, and many of the city's streets, closed to traffic for the day, transform into outdoor parties – will surely be the most exuberant and impressive in the country.
