Akoustik 2025: The Vibes of Vanier Were Unmatched

Community Events

Nine weeks. Eighteen artists. Hundreds of attendees. Zero rainouts.

This summer’s Akoustik concert series was a true celebration of community, culture, and creativity. From July through September, Wednesday evenings at St. Charles Market were the place to be—filled with the sounds of incredible local talent, delicious takeout from partner merchants, and a crowd that kept growing week after week.

Presented by the Vanier BIA and proudly sponsored by St. Charles Market, The Lake Partnership, John Gomes Real Estate, and the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition (OMIC), the award-winning music series showcased the best of Ottawa’s music scene in the heart of Vanier.

Couldn’t make it? Or just want to relive the magic? We’ve created a Spotify playlist featuring the artists who performed this summer.
