Ottawa is set to welcome a new live event venue developed by Live Nation Canada at 47 Rideau Street, transforming the former Chapters bookstore into a dynamic space for concerts, corporate events and more. “With the opening of this new venue, Ottawa’s event infrastructure will take another significant step forward as it attracts top-tier talent and provides significant opportunities for organisations to host impactful and memorable gatherings,” says Ottawa Tourism VP Lesley Pincombe.

New Venue Enhances Ottawa’s Event Hosting Potential

Located near Ottawa’s major transportation hubs, the venue will offer ample parking and be easily accessible by public transit, ensuring convenience for attendees arriving from both within the city and farther afield. Its central downtown position places it within a short walk of hotels, restaurants, and cultural attractions, enhancing the experience for visitors looking to explore Ottawa.
