Message from the Government of Québec





The 24rd Edition Is Fast Approaching!


The Government of Québec is proud to support La Virée Trad Festival, an event that promises to deliver a memorable experience for all participants. The festival serves as an exceptional showcase for the amazing talent of artisans who work in our cultural and events industry.

Our summer festivals and events continue to enrich our tourism offer while promoting Québec as a top-tier destination. I invite all visitors to discover the many attractions and activities that make the Gaspé Peninsula come alive at this time of year.

I also wish to offer my heartfelt gratitude to every member of the organizing team who helped turn this wonderful event into a reality. I encourage both tourists and residents to seize the opportunity and enjoy themselves while exploring this wonderful region.

Enjoy the festival!
