Outaouais en fête: the perfect menu for a great festival

The Outaouais en fête Festival promises a packed 2026 edition, offering a mix of Francophone music, family activities, gastronomy, and entertainment for all ages.

Held from June 19th to 24th at Parc des Cèdres in Gatineau, the festival celebrates its 50th anniversary this year with a program that highlights Francophone culture and the festivities of Quebec’s National Holiday.

In addition to performances by established and up-and-coming artists, visitors can enjoy a food fair, a bar featuring local products, an artisans’ alley, inflatable structures, family entertainment, as well as fireworks and a bonfire.

The organizers aim to offer a complete experience where music, gastronomy, and outdoor activities come together in a friendly atmosphere on the banks of the Ottawa River. The festival remains the only event in the region entirely dedicated to celebrating the French language and culture.

The festivities continue until June 24th with a diverse program designed for families, as well as those who enjoy shows and culinary discoveries.
