Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?
Along with a glorious music programming and more than 150 exhibitors – food artisans, wine, cider, and agrifood producers – from across the province, these chefs will take up the festivalgoer experience under the tent of the Académie gourmande Provigo Le Marché!
Next to the Bistro SAQ de la rivière, the stage will feature performances of grooving Quebec artists. Meet Julie Lefebvre, Bears of Legends, Rodeo Drive Country Band, Baillarge, The Singles, Swinging Sisters, Oli, Midnight Quartet, and Priscilla Quirion.
