Organized as part of Québec City’s 400th anniversary celebrations in 2008, the New France Festival was first held in 1997 at the behest of the Québec City municipal authorities who were looking to set a historic festival inspired by the lives of the first European settlers against the background of Old Québec. The event was such a success from the start that it quickly became an annual event. A broad range of cultural activities with an arts and entertainment flavor are put on, and such quality content has enabled the festival to become a major event. Just like the enormous popular festivals of the past, the New France Festival is steeped in a fun and celebratory atmosphere that comes from both the planned activities and the extras who work the sites and the streets of Old Québec and quickly spreads to everyone else involved in the festival, bringing the city to life every summer.
