Quebec City, Dream City at Jacques-Cartier Beach Park, Sunday, September 20
Parc de la plage Jacques-Cartier
On Sunday, September 20, 2026, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., Jacques-Cartier Beach Park, on the riverbank in Sainte-Foy, will host "Québec, ville de rêve" (Quebec City, Dream City). For sixty minutes, an artist will paint a work before the public's eyes, accompanied by musicians, drawing inspiration from the place, the landscape, and the people present. Anyone can lend a hand to the canvas or simply watch it take shape; each performance results in a different creation. The activity is part of the "musical ambiance" cultural walks animated by Québec animée; it is free and takes place rain or shine, unless conditions compromise the safety of artists or the public (thunderstorms, strong winds, heavy rain).

Other events in the series: Saturday, September 19 at Armand-Grenier Park, Saturday, September 26 at Victoria Park, Sunday, September 27 at Maison O’Neill, always from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. The Voilà Québec tip: the park runs along the Saint-Laurent River for 2.6 kilometers, perfect for a walk before or after the performance, and on the same day at 2 p.m., La planante improvisée concludes its own series at Maison O’Neill. Our ideas for outings with children are in "Québec en famille" and free outings in "What to do for free in Quebec City".
