Roller coasters are back and ready to roll at L'Outaouais en fête Festival

Jude Osmond

Good news, roller coaster fans, the rides are officially back in action after a 5-year hiatus due to the pandemic, and they are returning to L'Outaouais en fête Festival, taking place June 19 to 24 at Le Parc des Cèdres. 

They rides were removed in 2020 for pandemic safety reasons, and festivalgoers said it was never the same without them; attendees have dearly missed them.

Roller coasters aren’t the only highlight; the festival offers multiple activities, including delicious food from various stands and amazing fireworks, but what really steals the show are the performances by various artists. This year's lineup includes Jay Trepanier, Parazar, King Lemon, Emile Bourgeault, Mirani Coelho and many more.

On June 24, Impératif français is hosting the grand ecological parade for the national holiday of Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, starting at the Galeries Aylmer at 12:30 pm, marching down Principal Street, and finishing at the Parc des Cèdres.
