Festival of Small Halls

Ontario Festival of Small Halls (OFOSH) organizers today announced their 2026 lineup, with multiple concerts in the Ottawa region and throughout Ontario. The festival will offer a wealth of artists at a unique selection of intimate sites, during the months of October, November, and December.

When the ‘Team Behind Bluesfest’ first launched the Ontario Festival of Small Halls in August of 2014, they started with small steps—staging music events in historically important venues in a few small towns and villages near Ottawa, in Ontario, featuring some prominent Canadian talent.

In recent years, OFOSH has seen continued success, with notable growth throughout the province due to the exceptional programming and boundless community enthusiasm that has become standard for the event.

The ongoing addition of numerous venues and concerts throughout the province underscores the determination that organizers have to offer a plethora of amazing acts in multiple communities in Ontario.
