About 613cal

A free, community-run calendar of everything happening across Ottawa — the 613.

Our goal

Our primary goal is to be the calendar for the city of Ottawa — the single, comprehensive, go-to place where you can see everything that's on, all in one spot. Not a partial listing or one venue's schedule, but the whole city's events together.

613cal started from a simple, familiar frustration: hearing about a great concert, festival, neighbourhood market, gallery opening, or family afternoon only after it had already happened. Ottawa has a huge amount going on, but it's scattered across dozens of venue sites, ticketing platforms, and social-media pages. 613cal gathers it into one clean, fast, searchable place so locals can actually find what's on.

How it works

Once a day, 613cal gathers publicly listed events from a range of local and regional sources — public listings, community aggregators, official tourism calendars — together with events submitted directly by organizers and residents, and presents them all in a single calendar.

Every event links back to its original source, and each listing is credited to where it came from, so you can confirm details and get tickets first-hand. We're continually adding new sources to widen coverage.

Finding events

Browse the month view or switch to a list, and narrow things down by genre, price (including a free-only filter), audience or age group, and distance from your location (calculated in your browser — see our privacy policy). You can also follow new events through the RSS feed.

Add an event

Running something in Ottawa? Use the “Add an event” button on the calendar to submit it. Submissions are reviewed by a person before they appear, to keep the calendar accurate and on-topic.

Coverage

613cal covers the city of Ottawa and the surrounding region — Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Orléans, Stittsville, and nearby communities, including events just across the river in Gatineau.

Independent & community-run

613cal is an independent, volunteer-run project. It is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the City of Ottawa or any venue or organizer listed. If something looks wrong, or you'd like an event corrected or removed, please get in touch.
