Ottawa Now - Ford government to embrace BYOB policy at outdoor events
March 17, 2026
Can you picture a BYOB policy at an outdoor festival? Perhaps a tall boy at an outdoor movie showing? Maybe drinking some wine at a park while watching a Shakespearian play? The Ford government wants to make that happen. Effective April 30th, Ontarians will be permitted to bring their own alcoholic beverages to outdoor public events. From farmers’ markets to art exhibits, the world is your oyster. But how would this new policy impact some of Ottawa's major events? Is this something that event organizers would embrace? Kristy Cameron chats with Tara Shannon, the Executive Director of the Ottawa Festival Network, on Ottawa Now.
