Before the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival makes waves this summer, the Ice Dragon Boat Festival is set to heat things up in the nation's capital, and organizers have now revealed the programming slate for their 2020 edition.

Taking place February 7 and 8 on the city's Rideau Canal skateway, the free festival will be headlined by Dwayne Gretzky and Kira Isabella, with Old Man Grant, Silent Winters, Boyhood, and DJ Noypi following closely behind.

Additional performance highlights include the Success Lion Dancers, Indigenous Experiences: Drum Group and First Nation Dancers, the Chinese Canadian Children's Choir of Canada, Sébastien Lemay, and more.

All the concerts will be hosted indoors on Dow's Lake at Lago Bar and Grill. You can find a complete concert schedule here and a preview video below.
