Music on the boardwalk all summer long

This summer, the heart of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue transforms into an open-air stage. From June 19 to September 13, 2026, local musicians will perform at Place de l’Harmonie as part of the city’s street performer program. One Saturday it’s jazz, the next it’s francophone music, and sometimes a solo performer sets the mood for a relaxed dinner on the patio.

It’s the kind of evening that’s easy to enjoy—no planning or tickets required. Just bring a folding chair, grab a drink, and settle in. With free admission, local talent just steps away, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, everything is in place for a great time!

Saint-Jean celebrations in good company

On June 23, 2026, Saint-Jean celebrations take over Place de l’Harmonie. Free and open to all, Quebec’s National Holiday brings neighbours, families, and friends together for an evening of music, entertainment, and community spirit.

For families looking for a more intimate Saint-Jean celebration, this event is all about reconnecting with familiar faces, enjoying the sunset by the water, and singing along to beloved Quebec classics.

With workshops, kiosks, and entertainment, there’s something for curious visitors of all ages. An excellent way to savour the last days of summer while gaining a deeper appreciation for protecting the natural world around us.
