On October 7, 8 and 9, the Festival des Couleurs de Rigaud celebrates its 25th anniversary with a panoply of new features at Rigaud's Parc Chartier-De Lotbinière.

To mark these 25 years of existence, headliners for the 2023 edition include Bleu Jeans Bleu, Lendemain de Veille, Jonathan Roy, Rockology, Alter Ego and Guylaine Tanguay.

"This year, we decided to opt for a large outdoor stage so that as many festival-goers as possible could see the shows," says Christiane Lévesque, General Manager of the Corporation du Festival des couleurs de Rigaud.

"The enthusiasm for the shows and the programming made us decide to go for it. We can really feel the enthusiasm of festival-goers for this edition," she adds.

In collaboration with Microbrasserie Trois-Lacs, an exclusive beer bearing the effigy of the 2023 edition will be offered in limited quantities. It will be available on site at the bar near the stage.

The festivities don't stop there, as festival-goers will also have the chance to discover culinary treasures at the Marché des saveurs, as well as original creations at the Espace artisans.

A diverse selection of foodtrucks will also add a gastronomic touch to the festivities. All this, accompanied by non-stop entertainment for endless fun.
