Amid splendid natural surroundings, the Festival’s programming showcases major international and top local artists in performances at the Amphithéâtre Fernand-Lindsay as well as in various churches and agrotourism sites in the region. The completely immersive, warm and convivial experience it offers is a friendly blend of the world’s greatest concert halls … and the family summer cottage!

Fernand Lindsay Amphitheatre: the core festival venue

Inaugurated in 1989, the outdoor Fernand Lindsay Amphitheatre can hold nearly 2,000 people under its roof and 5,000 on its lawns. The venue is well known for its exceptionally good acoustics, greatly appreciated by both artists and classical music lovers.
