This is the largest gathering of Francophone artists in the world: for ten days each summer, the area around Place des Arts closes to traffic and gears up for a spectacular musical feast. Most activities are free, with another 50 or so indoor concerts (at Club Soda and the Spectrum, among other venues) offered at prices rarely exceeding CAD20. Past headliners have included Charles Aznavour, Gilles Vigneault, Edith Butler, Michel Rivard and Jean Leloup. The festival also features fashion, art and culinary delights from all over the world.
