The sound of music fills the air….

The OFF Festival (part of the Sherbrooke en musique event) gives local artistes the opportunity to show off their talents to the public. They play all genres of music - retro, Motown, jazz, folk, alternative, blues (to name a few) – at public spaces throughout downtown. During Sherbrooke en musique, there are hundreds of free performances! You can find the complete program online.

Local brews in Victoria Park

During Festibière, a beer festival in Sherbrooke, Victoria Park is transformed into a veritable German-style beer garden!

There will be musical entertainment and roasted marshmallows by the campfire. Don’t miss this opportunity to soak up the ambience of a European beerfest, brew in hand!
