The only thing we love more than hi-fi? High-quality finds.

FONO is thrilled to announce **The Pit Stop** — happening May 23 during Ottawa’s busiest (and arguably best) weekend: the legendary Great Glebe Garage Sale.

For this special day, the hi-fi lounge is opening early. The garage door will be up, the BBQ will be fired, drinks will be flowing, and music will be bumping all afternoon long. Expect boozy lemonade, daytime drink specials, hot dogs fresh off the grill, iced coffee, alleyway hangs, and plenty of garage sale storytelling.

We also want to see your most outrageous, bizarre, unbelievably good GGGS finds. We’ll be hosting a “Best Find of the Day” contest, and the winner will take home a very special FONO prize. More details coming soon — start assembling your garage sale dream team now.

Bringing CORE’s energy to Ottawa’s newest gem @FONO for a night of immersive DJ sets, a curated vendor market, and community vibes

FONO Presents: Experience a profound melding of ritual electronics and contemporary Arabic traditions as Radwan Ghazi Moumneh (Jerusalem In My Heart) and Frédéric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Tempête) trace sonic territories between memory and invention, devotion and abrasion.

The show features two masters of experimental music: Moumneh, the Lebanese artist and producer behind Jerusalem In My Heart , and Oberland, the French multi-instrumentalist and co-founder of the avant-rock collective Oiseaux-Tempête. Together, they utilize a diverse sonic palette—including Buchla and modular synths, alto saxophone, buzuk, and rababa—to create a space where their distinct creative impulses converge and reconfigure. This is a unique opportunity for ticket buyers to witness two artists who have spent two decades opening pathways beyond inherited forms and exploring the intersections of avant-rock and free improvisation.
