QUEBEC Grands Feux Loto-Québec August 1 to 24
NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR The Friendly Invasion July 19 to August 6 The name of this two-and-a-half-week celebration is a nod to when the Town of Stephenville, situated on the shoreline of beautiful Bay St. George, was home to an American air force base during World War II. Take part in guided hikes, walking and ATV tours, enjoy live theatre and open-air concerts, and sit down for a gourmet themed meal. Other options include a scen‑ ic drive along the 161-kilometre French Ancestors Route or a visit to the K’Taqmkuk Mi’Kmaq Museum.
Billed as “a pyromusical event of international cali‑ bre,” the Grands Feux Loto-Québec, originally created in 1985, highlights the values and roots of aboriginal peoples of Quebec and returns following a two-year absence. Guests at the quays on the Quebec side and across the St. Lawrence River in the city of Lévis are treated not only to spectacular fireworks but artists performing a variety of dance and music styles such as country, Latin, disco and hip-hop.
