Don’t miss the 36th edition of the Festival du Cochon, held in Sainte-Perpétue in the Centre-du-Québec region. The unique pig races, including the must-see national greased pig race and the extreme boar challenge, will dive you into a festive ambiance. This is also an ideal occasion to savour Quebec pork. In addition to the usual stands, there’s an array of original, more elaborate dishes and a table-d’hôte meal that can be accompanied by a fine bottle of wine. Something for every taste and budget! In the evening, don’t miss shows by great Quebec musicians. The “PassePORC” is a great way to make the most of Week-end motos de Sainte-Perpétue on May 31 and June 1, 2013, during which you can enjoy Quebec’s most popular motorcycle drag races, classic old motorcycles and rock shows in the evening. Visit the website in May to see the full program!
