Description
The festival takes place in the heart of Quebec City's historic downtown during the month of July. There are a total of four stages. Festivities take place on the Plains of Abraham, Parc de la Francophonie, Parc de l'Esplanade and Carré d'Youville. Numerous artists from all over the world take to the stage. This musical event offers a wide variety of styles.
There are different official landings for each section. And most sections are accessible by paved or asphalt roads. However, it should be noted that the historic city center, especially the sidewalks, has several paved areas with cracks and irregularities.Summary maps showing certain directions are available on the festival site. However, it is much more advantageous to consult the venue map section of the Festival website. It is then possible to select a more specific section of the site and locate the relevant information using the accessibility pictograms.
Guide and assistance dogs are allowed on the festival site. It's important to have the animal's certificate with you, as you may be asked to provide it.
Please note that the site evaluation was carried out for the 2024 edition, so subsequent editions may differ.
Temporary kiosks (bar, boutique, restaurants) have variable accessibility depending on their configuration.
For further information, please consult the Limited Mobility - Reserved Area section of the festival website.
