Thank you for the feature 🙌

Ottawa’s Indian Food Festival brought more than 15,000 people together for three days of food, culture and community.

➡️ The 2026 festival was held from August 21 to 23 at Clarke Fields Park in Nepean, with organizers saying more than 15,000 visitors attended.

➡️ The free event celebrated regional Indian cuisine alongside cultural performances, family activities and a community marketplace.

➡️ Now in its third year, the festival has grown from more than 10,000 attendees in its first edition in 2024 to more than 15,000 visitors in 2025 and again a major turnout in 2026.

Events like this show how Indian culture continues to become a visible and celebrated part of communities across Canada.
