Agricultural exhibitions first appeared in 19th century Quebec and have played a major role in the province’s history. These annual events first sought to inform the general public of new developments in agriculture and livestock breeding. Over the years, they turned into fairgrounds, with games of skill, horse shows and carnival rides. In Québec City, occasional exhibitions were held starting in 1818. From 1912 onwards, they became an annual event. The last edition of this great celebration took place in 2015. Come and see images of this longstanding historical event!

In 1969, the Palais de l’Agriculture was officially renamed the Pavillon de la Jeunesse and received a new ice rink. That year, the provincial exhibition was renamed Expo-Québec. The program was also modified, inspired by the huge success of Expo 67 in Montréal.
