WHAT’S THERE

Remic Rapids Park Ottawa River between Carleton Avenue and Parkdale Avenue

Ever wondered about those cool rock “formations” in the Ottawa River, just north of Tunney’s Pasture? They’re actually rock balance sculptures created by local artist John Felice Ceprano. Music, dance, and other performances take place annually in warm weather as part of the Art on the Rocks festival.

1st Thursdays Art Walk Five galleries along Wellington Street West
