The goal of the Fêtes de la Nouvelle-France is to recreate a bygone era. Spectators and actors each play their part in recreating this world, a task that requires a thorough knowledge of history. That is why it is so much fun to see people in period costume in historic Old Québec.

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!

Everyone in period costume!
