About Heineken Escapade Music Festival
Heineken Escapade Music Festival is the first festival of its kind in the National Capital Region (NCR). The annual Festival, which takes place during around Canada Day in Ottawa, is dedicated to the development of the electronic music scene and demographic in the NCR.
Heineken Escapade Music Festival made its debut in 2010, featuring sound and visual production never experienced with an event of this kind in the NCR. The event was headlined by Canadian born superstar, Grammy Award winning DJ and producer Deadmau5. Since the inaugural Festival, Heineken Escapade has grown in festival size, with more artists, attendance and days. The two-day festival has been solidified as a top-tier festival in North America by adding unique elements like the Heineken Escapade Club Series and hosting more than 30,000 attendees over the duration of the festival.
