Ottawa Summer Boat Party 2025 | Caribbean Beats & Fireworks Show

One summer night. One river. A thousand unforgettable moments.

On Saturday, August 16, 2025, the Ottawa River sets the stage for an evening that captures everything summer is meant to be — warm nights, skyline views, music you can feel in your chest, and fireworks that light up the water.

Step aboard and leave the city behind as you join hundreds of guests for a night where Caribbean rhythms meet the capital’s most spectacular fireworks show. From the first beat to the final burst of colour in the sky, every moment is crafted to keep the energy high and the memories lasting.

The rooftop deck becomes a moving festival — an open‑air dance floor with the Ottawa skyline on one side and the Casino Lac‑Leamy fireworks filling the other. Inside, the party takes on a club‑style feel with professional sound and lighting, perfect for those who want the bass turned up and the lights flashing.

Live DJs will keep the night in motion with Soca, Dancehall, Afrobeats, and Reggae, while bartenders mix tropical cocktails, pour chilled beer, and serve up everything you need to keep the celebration going.

The highlight? A front‑row seat to the Casino Lac‑Leamy Fireworks Festival — no crowds, no blocked views, just you and an unbroken horizon of colour exploding above the river. With the city lights behind you and the fireworks ahead, it’s a view you can’t get anywhere else.
