Tourisme Drummondville
A nighttime adventure at the heart of nature
The Extéria park is the perfect place to play in the trees and breathe in the fresh air! But how about experiencing it... in the middle of the night? That’s exactly what the park offers to guests ages 16 and older. This special adventure is offered on June 19, July 18 and 30, and August 14 and 29, 2026. Equipped with a headlamp, you’ll navigate footbridges, nets and ziplines in the dark for a highly thrilling adrenaline rush.
Mini-golf and laser tag: the perfect family combo
Why choose just one activity when you can have two? At Laser Force Drummondville, a fun-filled family day awaits you with the Laser Tag + Mini-Golf combo! First, head to the state-of-the-art arena for a laser tag adventure featuring immersive sound, dynamic lighting, and impressive visual effects. Next, it’s time for a game of neon mini-golf, with 18 holes spread across two floors and five themed worlds to explore!
A giant outdoor puppet show, presented rain or shine
From July 2 to August 22, 2026, at the Théâtre de la Dame de Cœur, catch La folle épopée de M. Paul (show in French only) an extraordinary immersive show that will delight young and old alike! Enjoy free on-site activities starting at 5 p.m., then settle into a comfortable swivel seat with heated shoulder straps (perfect for cool evenings!) and watch the action unfold all around you. Psst… The 50th anniversary promotion saves you up to $10 per ticket! The show runs Wednesday through Sunday at 8 p.m. in July and 8:30 p.m. in August.
A bold comedy at the theatre
Get ready to laugh… and blush with Tout sur le sexe (show in French only). Running from July 10 to August 15, 2026, at the Maison des arts Desjardins Drummondville, this comedy stars Simon Boudreault, Brigitte Lafleur and Laurent Paquin, who bring a whole host of colourful characters to life. Together, they’ll take you on a nearly comprehensive tour of this subject, which is as fascinating as it is controversial. Don’t worry: the play promises to entertain all generations… but perhaps not for the same reasons!
New staging to bring the past to life
The Village Québécois d’Antan and director Benoît Laroche are teaming up again this year to present the story of the Village’s first Carnival. The story follows Léa, returning from a trip to New Orleans, who will share her discoveries and the idea of a purely Quebec-style carnival. Celebrations, music, costumes: the whole Village is buzzing with excitement! But as preparations are underway, nothing goes as planned… Comedy, misunderstandings and absurd moments are in store. Plan your visit to discover this story! In the evening, don’t miss the Parallel Village, a multimedia experience where lights, sounds and projections transform the past into a timeless summer evening.
Camping in nature, but close to the city
After a day of exploring, Camping des Voltigeurs is the perfect place to unwind: a true green oasis on the banks of the Saint-François River. Enjoy the brand-new river access dock and the heated outdoor pool, and explore the paved trails by bike. Above all, don’t miss the magnificent sunsets from the terrace—a must-see during your stay. Campers also enjoy numerous discounts at partner businesses, allowing them to discover the region while saving money.
