Rideau Hall Winter Celebration – Sat. Feb 7th

Experience the joy of winter at Rideau Hall with your family and friends during their Winter Celebration — an afternoon of free outdoor activities, captivating performances and more than a few surprises will delight young and old alike.

• Explore the snow-clad grounds of Rideau Hall and discover winter games and pastimes from all over the world.

• Lace up your skates in the Winter Pavilion, a stunning heritage building, and skate on the Rideau Hall Rink.

• Warm up with a tour of the residence and check out some special indoor activities! Visit the State rooms where the Governor General honours Canadians, welcomes dignitaries, and fulfils official duties.

• Visitors are also encouraged to walk, use public transportation* or taxis to get to Rideau Hall, as there is limited street parking on the streets in the surrounding neighbourhood.

*A free Winterlude shuttle bus will run in a loop from downtown (intersection of Metcalfe and Queen Streets) to Rideau Hall every half hour between 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., with the last bus departing Rideau Hall at 4:30 p.m.
