Festival du Bois

Join us March 24 – 26 in Mackin Park to experience brilliant music and dance concerts, shows where you can dance along, special performances for kids and families, workshops, roving on-site performers, delicious French Canadian food, artisan and exhibit booths – and more!

Visit the Métis Village Experience on-site for performances and stories – and an opportunity to learn more about Métis history, tradition and rich and dynamic culture.

Come to the Grand Chapiteau for concerts by Les Grands Hurleurs – the “great howlers” – playing traditional Québécois music that’s bursting with new ideas; sensational Senegalese soul-rocker, Élage Diouf; hip-swivelling, dance-floor-filling Brazilian dance music from Forró do Cana; Québécois music power trio, Genticorum; BC’s own Métis Jiggers;  La Famille Léger’s French-Canadian and Acadian tunes, along with the galvanizing dance of Podorythmie; and, celebrating 50 years, Maillardville-based francophone choir, Les Échos du Pacifique.

As a bonus, we have some wonderful pre-festival events lined up. Join us and get in the Festival spirit!
