Kink and fetish festivals in Ottawa

Ottawa straddles two provinces, and so does its scene — several events happen on the Gatineau side. It is quieter than Montréal’s or Toronto’s, and travels largely by word of mouth at munches.

Several days, several venues, a mix of workshops, parties and market. Canada hosts a few each year, including one of the largest fetish conventions in the world, drawing thousands from the United States and Europe. They book months ahead.
