The musical festivities will be presented under the direction of Antoine Gratton. Among the guest artists, we find Marie-Annick Lépine, Patrice Michaud, Paul Daraîche, Les Louanges, Ariane Roy, Waahli, Beatrice Deer, Matiu, Laurence Nerbonne, Mitsou, and Galant, tu perds ton temps.
Fourteen other artists are expected in the lineup, including a dance troupe. In addition, the spokesperson for the event, Benoît McGinnis, will deliver a “patriotic” speech. Among the surprises, there will be tributes to artists who died in the last year.
Umbrellas will exceptionally be allowed on the site. “Put on your raincoat and your pride in your heart and come in large numbers, it will be a memorable evening,” we said in a press release.
