Abitibi-Témiscamingue World Guitar Festival

Behind audacious projects, you will find dreamers and passionate, engaged people. The Abitibi-Témiscamingue World Guitar Festival is just such a project. Its organizers are actively preparing the 8th edition which will be held in Rouyn-Noranda. This cultural event that has forged an enviable reputation with the greatest guitarists from Quebec, Canada and the rest of the world is setting the tempo for a great season. A well-informed, friendly audience, crowded music halls and dedicated volunteers are what musicians recall from their previous visits to this small urban community, which manages to stay in touch with the world despite its outlying location. Classic or contemporary, jazz, folk, blues, world music; every genre is found at the Abitibi-Témiscamingue World Guitar Festival and welcomed with unfailingly keen interest.
