See history come to life at the Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France TD!

This festival brings the fascinating period of New France (the 17th and 18th centuries in North America) to life in a fun and festive way. Discover this year’s program of events, full of activities for all tastes, and join in the fun! Attending the festival is also an opportunity to explore the beautiful city and admire its architecture in a lively summer atmosphere.

Have a seat at the King’s table

Last year's Tablée du Roy (King’s Dinner) was a resounding success, and bringing it back for the 2024 edition was an easy decision! This famous festive evening will take place in a historic venue, Parc Montmorency, where guests sit down at His Majesty's table to share a gourmet meal in a sparkling atmosphere that rivals the greatest feasts of the era. What’s more, this dinner will be attended by historical figures you can meet and will be enhanced throughout the evening with performances by musicians and circus artists. If you missed it last year, now's your chance! Reserve early, places are limited!

Are you one of the traitors?

Along with the return of fan-favourite events, the Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France program also includes a number of new additions, including The Night of the Traitors, presented by Noovo. This Werewolf-inspired role-playing game designed for the festival plunges you into the heart of a fascinating era. Make yourself comfortable in the lounges and follow the lead of the gamemaster as you use your deductive skills to unmask the traitors who have infiltrated the group – unless of course, you yourself are one of the traitors! Be sure to reserve your place!

End the evening at the Cabaret!

To close off your evenings in style after nightfall, make a detour by the Boisdon's Cabaret presented by Appalaches Distillerie. This festival-favourite returns with a program of surprising shows and unusual performances with styles ranging from historical to feminist, burlesque, risqué songs and comedy.
