The Bleu Jeans Bleu quartet has only one mission: make you happy. It’s with contagious pleasure that they deliver their earrings sometimes pop-rock-disco-soul-caramels. Their successes such as 'J'te gâte all dressed' or 'Vulnérable comme un bébé chat' have earned them a special place in the Quebec landscape, and it’s with enthusiasm that they deliver their performance, cheeks cramps guaranteed. Their new show called PERFECTO promises to mess hair up hairstyling with a disconcerting elegance.

At the limits of «electro keys» and backed by his fundamental stoner-rock origin, Olivier Langevin and his gang of Galaxie tend to get us out of the winter cold by making us dance. On a less introspective literary note that we know him and a prose always close to the exciting evenings that we can hardly remember, Galaxie will transform the traditional dance floor into a space of release!

One foot in Quebec and the other in Louisiana, the zydeco style of the Winston Band is a strangely authentic messed up. The group borrows from traditional music from from all over the world merging a strong electric note that offers a very current mixed sound. The Winston Band borrow on this long marginalized art that is the zydeco, music of francophone Creoles of Louisiana, and refresh it by mixing it with other styles. Based on the intense combination of the accordion pitons and rubbing, the Winston uses this rock energy that leads the crowd to "act without restraint". Add to that a little of Caribbean sounds and you get the perfect recipe for good times to roll.

Management of waste and compostable packaging
Thanks to Cascades and the Maison de l’environnement de Verdun, our partners in environmental responsibility for the event, recycling and composting locations are strategically placed around the event to encourage the disposal of waste. A squad will also be on-site to supervise waste management.
Société Saint-Vincent de Paul
For the third time this year, the organization has decided to call an organism to recover food leftovers generated by the event. “La Société Saint-Vincent de Paul” interventions are focused on listening and supporting the most vulnerable people by promoting dignity, autonomy and integration into the community of those in need of food aid, school perseverance and social integration programs, as well as access to basic necessities.
