Party on a Boat & See Your City Like Never Before
This is Ottawa’s most in-demand fireworks experience — a high-energy boat party during the Casino Lac-Leamy Fireworks Festival.
But you’re not watching from the crowd…
you’re on the water.
Sunset → city lights → fireworks exploding above you.
No crowds. No blocked views.
Just music, partying, drinks, and best vantage point in the city.
This event sells out every year — and always early.
🚀 What Awaits You Onboard
