Voilà Québec recommendation: our page on Domaine de Maizerets features the park where the festival is held. For dinner before the evening event, our Limoilou restaurants are in the same borough, and the rest of the month's events are in what to do in Quebec City in October and our guide to autumn in Quebec City.
