Whether you're a fan of bass, techno or house music, Quebec is a must-visit destination on the electronic music scene. There's the legendary Igloofest, which brings the Old Port of Montreal to life in winter with its icy parties and local and international DJs.

This electronic music buzz also makes its way around several big-name festivals elsewhere in the province year-round, from Gatineau to Trois-Rivières, Matane and Québec City.
