4. Festival d'été de Québec

The Buzz -- This festival features musical performances from Québec's own musicians, as well as musicians from all over the world. Come enjoy the dynamic sounds of pop, rock and alternative music, along with tasty food and a warm, friendly atmosphere. This July festival is said to be the largest French-speaking cultural celebration on the continent. Although the party tends to spread throughout the city, the Molson Dry Stage in Parc de la Francophonie is usually one of the top venues. A festival pass is required for admission, and additional tickets must be purchased to attend some of the shows.
