Strolling toward the music

Walking to the Festival is already part of the experience!

• On Grande Allée, between Belvédère and Taché, secure pedestrian lanes make for a comfortable walk.
• Two quick drop-off zones are available for those getting a lift downtown:
  • At Gare du Palais
  • On Avenue Moncton, between René-Lévesque Blvd West and Grande Allée West

• All FEQ sites are centralized, accessible, and just steps away from each other — once you're downtown, everything is within walking distance!
  

For those coming from farther away

Driving or carpooling with friends? Here are a few tips:

• A dedicated life-saving corridor for emergency services is set up in bus lanes, marked with orange cones and monitored by police.
• Two quick drop-off zones are available for festival-goers being dropped off downtown:
  • At Gare du Palais
  • On Avenue Moncton, between René-Lévesque Blvd West and Grande Allée West

• Arrive early in the downtown area, take your time to enjoy a meal at a local restaurant — in the upper or lower town — then head over to the shows. It’s a great way to fully enjoy the FEQ experience!

• Use the site map to locate nearby parking options.
