Welcome to the 36th Festival du Bois!
Maillardville's Music & Culture Festival

Join us for the 36th Annual Festival du Bois, March 7 to 9. We can't wait to welcome you back to the big tents in Mackin Park!

Expect a festival full of lively music and dance featuring some of the finest artists from across the country in concerts and workshops, and so much more. Bring your friends and family along!

The festival is thrilled to announce that Québec music superstar, Yves Lambert, will perform as part of the Saturday, March 8 line up. Lambert and his 7-piece “Grand Orchestra” will celebrate his 50 years in music. The 8 piece ensemble perform a not-to-be-missed concert that explores the brilliant repertoire that he has built up since his very beginnings as a founding member of La Bottine Souriante until today.

The festival also offers a chance to dance to contra music, explore the Métis Village Experience, have fun at special shows for kids, eat, shop, have fun - and revel in a wealth of Québécois, folk, world, Celtic, roots and contemporary music! The full festival line-up and schedule will be revealed in mid-January.

Come grab some plaid and your pals and say "bonjour!" to Festival du Bois in Maillardville (Coquitlam), the cradle of francophone culture in BC.
