Celebrate summertime with the NAC this July and August with Music on the Canal!

Hear the vibrant playing of Miguel de Armas, Roxanne Goodman, and many more as they float along the Rideau Canal on Saturdays all summer long. Let these incredible musicians provide a glimpse of joyful sounds as they float by while you run or bike!

The concert takes place on the Rideau Canal beginning near the NAC, under the Rideau Street Bridge. The musician-packed boat will arrive at Lansdowne Park approximately 45 minutes later and then return. The musicians' set runs approximately 90 minutes.
