Sparks Street BIA & MA

We had such a wonderful time here and visited multiple times just to see it again. We'll be back again next year 💯.

We had lots of fun on the last weekend of Winterlude. Beautiful ice sculptures and good food. ☺️

Grateful for the beautiful weather and seemingly smaller event this year. Having the wire protectors along the sides of the street rather than across the middle made it a lot easier to navigate in a mobility device. Saw many more people using mobility devices this year than in the past. Would still prefer the Market than the brick sidewalk of Sparks St.

Went down to check out Prismatica on Sparks Street which is an installation running from Sep 25 to Oct 25, 2020. Heard about it on a commercial and decided to go down for a selfie and to support local business. Glad we didn’t bring the kid. Prismatica is cool but underwhelming. A line of about 20 giant 2 m tall prisms that you can spin. The signage says that as they spin, a variable-intensity soundtrack comprised of bell sounds will play. So, yes, as some of them spin, they have little bell chimes that play. Still, it is a fun back drop for selfies with the reflecting rainbows.

Iconic and historical buildings are abundant on this stree. Sparks street is the story of Ottawa since its birth.
