Earlier this week, Ville de Saint-Lazare announced the return of Festi Ouest. Now in its second year, the event will be held on August 24 and 25 at Parc Bédard, and will welcome Gregory Charles to the stage.

On Saturday, August 24, Gregory Charles will rock the Festi Ouest stage! The multi-talented artist will perform a country-flavored repertoire with an energy all his own. Opening the evening, you'll have the chance to discover or rediscover artist Marven James.

Named Festi Ouest, due in part to the town's geographical location, the celebrations will once again put the spotlight on the town's equestrian heritage.

The family-friendly event will feature a wide range of country-style activities, from games of skill to line dancing, songwriters, funfair and horse-drawn carriage rides.

New this summer! The Festi Ouest General Market will welcome merchants and artisans in a western atmosphere. Merchants and artisans wishing to occupy a booth at the Marché général are invited to submit their candidacy via the city's website.
