Host your outdoor event with a view
Set against the stunning backdrop of Parliament Hill and the Ottawa River, the Canadian Museum of History offers one of the most iconic outdoor event venues in the National Capital Region. Located in Gatineau, the Museum’s riverside grounds are perfect for festivals, community fairs, cultural celebrations, and group activities of all sizes.
The outdoor space features a versatile mix of open green lawns, paved areas ideal for staging and vendor set-ups, a covered dome structure for weather protection or intimate gatherings, and a children’s playground that adds a family-friendly dimension to any event.
The success of large-scale public events held on our grounds demonstrates our ability to host major gatherings with strong visibility and meaningful community impact.
Outdoor rentals can also be paired with select indoor spaces for added convenience and flexibility. A list of trusted catering partners is available to support a seamless event experience.
Create an unforgettable event in a setting that’s as dynamic and memorable as the occasion, just steps from downtown Ottawa, with an unmatched view of Parliament Hill.
