The Summer Carnival and Old Boys Reunion of 1907 were especially interesting celebrations. This event, officially opened July 29, 1907, was dedicated to the reunion of Ottawa's old boys. Ottawa's streets were decorated with flags, pennants, banners, oriental lanterns and floral displays for this event. "In Upper Town, in Lower Town and out on the Glebe... the story is the sanie. The Man" decorations are general and it is impossible to find an Ottawa street this week where there are not some IN NEW AUDITORIUM flags to welcome those who have come back to the city of their birth, " (Journal, July 30, 1907, page 9). The Carnival highlights included the Grand Venetian Night, the Night Shirt Parade, the Illuminated IN THE EVENING. Automobile and Bicycle Parade and the Grand Fancy Dress Roller Skating Carnival.

The procession moved past the illuminated houses on both shores of the canal and the bands ,11, II II,: 9 ,' of musicians who were strategically placed along the Driveway. (Journal, July 31, 1907). Upon "..1 V,C,I1 t !IN approaching Centretown, "the long glittering line" of boats turned for the return trip. It was at this point that the acuatic fireworks began. A tug pulling a barge pulled out for the return trip. The blazing "coloured lights, fivers, bangers and biters" on the barge aroused roars of applause from the 'Ex' ad from Ottawa Evening spectators lining the banks of the Canal.
