A true summer tradition for families, music lovers and visitors from near and far, the Fête de la Musique has become a must-see cultural event in the Laurentians. Emerging artists and renowned performers come together to deliver memorable performances in a unique setting at the foot of the mountain.
A Musical Tradition That Has Been Bringing Tremblant to Life for 26 Years
Tremblant’s Fête de la Musique is celebrating its 26th edition in a big way and once again promises to bring the Tremblant Resort to life with a festive, inclusive and completely free program. For more than a quarter century, this iconic event, created by internationally renowned violinist Angèle Dubeau, who also serves as its artistic director, has transformed Tremblant’s pedestrian village into a massive open-air stage where more than 30 shows and concerts unfold in an electrifying atmosphere.
For this new edition, Tremblant invites the public to enjoy an incomparable musical experience where artistic discoveries, festive energy and shared moments come together in the heart of summer.
“The Fête de la Musique has always been a true passion project for me. As we approach the 26th edition, I am still filled with the same enthusiasm and passion. This great musical celebration was created with the ambition of showcasing music in all its forms, creating a gathering place where audiences and artists can connect in Tremblant’s enchanting setting while being carried away by the grandeur and beauty of music.”
