Family fun at Divertigo

If you haven’t tried the aerial games at Bromont’s Divertigo, now is your chance to do so, prior to the park closing for the winter. This is the last weekend of the season when you can whizz along zip lines, tackle the climbing walls and experience the free fall simulator, the mega swing or the climbing pole game – heart-stopping thrills for young and old!


Learn how cider is made

This Saturday, the Cidrerie Milton (a cidery) is hosting a day themed around the product that it makes onsite. Attend workshops on how craft cider is produced, stock up on apple juice, enjoy ciders on tap and take a tour of the premises. While you’re there, why not pick your own apples and take a bag home? This will be the final weekend you can do so, until next year…

Saturday, October 26 (9:30am-6pm) │ Cidrerie Milton in Sainte-Cécile-de-Milton


Foot races and fizzy brews!

Are you up for a challenge? In that case, the Microbreweries’ Half-Marathon in Bromont might well be for you! The races are divided into different lengths – 5, 10 and 21 kilometres – and there’s an easy, 1-km race designed for children. An incentive for finishing as quickly as you can is the post-race party with beer tastings from local microbreweries and regional produce.

Sunday, October 27│ Races start and finish at Bromont, montagne d’expériences
