Some would say that the Bas-Saint-Laurent region reveals all of its splendor during the summer season. And it certainly has made a name for itself thanks to enchanting panoramas and awe-inspiring sunsets. But as much as there is to see in the region, it also offers so much to do! So breathe in the seaside air and get ready to discover tourist attractions and activities that put the region’s very own culture, nature and festive spirit front and center.

A bit of magic and circus

Treat yourself to an extraordinary experience and be amazed by the Cirque de la Pointe-Sèche show. Named after an ancient village on the St. Lawrence River, this circus creates a new show each year and presents it outdoors in the fabulous scenery of Kamouraska. The dazzling acts feature artists and acrobats of all kinds who perform on a rock face and invite you, for an evening, into magical worlds where anything is possible!

Lots of nature

Outdoor enthusiasts will be delighted to discover the Terfa organization, which allows them access to the beautiful Duchenier wildlife reserve and the Hell’s Gate Canyon, which, despite its daunting name, is suitable for most visitors. Terfa offers activities that drive into the history of log driving as well as hiking across the highest suspended footbridge in Quebec, geocaching for a modern-day treasure hunt, interactive trails and a life-size maze full of secrets and challenges!

And a festive note

To add a festive touch to your stay in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, make a detour to Rimouski's Beauséjour Park, where the Grandes Fêtes TELUS will be held from August 3 to 6. Every year, the lineup enchants attendees of all ages, and this year's event continues the tradition by offering you shows to suit all tastes with artists such as Les Cowboys Fringants, Salebarbes, Charlotte Cardin, Lost Frequencies and FouKi. After the musical shows, don't miss the big TELUS fireworks on Sunday August 6!
