Commemorating the past: the Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France

After the success of the Médiévales de Québec festival, it was decided to create a festival that reflected the history of Québec City. The Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France was born to celebrate the historic origins of French in America. Since 1997, these festivities have brought the old city to life every year. For French-speakers from Quebec and all over North America, the festival is a chance to immerse themselves in their cultural past. Of course, the festivities are also open to visitors from all over the world. Come and join in the fun!
