Eco-friendly Festival
Sustainable development is at the heart of the concerns of the organizing committee of Les Grandes Fêtes TELUS. Our goal: to minimize our impact on the environment, while contributing to the development of the local community and the economic activity of the region.
Site of the Festival
From its first edition, the festival has taken place in Parc Beauséjour, located downtown Rimouski, which provides a wonderful natural environment for the event. The site is safe and easy to access.
The big stage faces an imposing natural hill, which offers an exceptional view to the festival-goes, no matter where they stand.
The site is accessible to people with reduced mobility and has a special, reserved section. Guide dogs are also allowed on site.
A Success, Thanks to the Community
Les Grandes Fêtes have been a success thanks to the active participation of the population of Rimouski. The Business community, the City of Rimouski, the various community organizations, the volunteers as well as many groups and associations contribute to the success of the event year after year.
