ARCHIPEL 2025 Festival: Between river and gentle madness

From Friday, July 11 at 3:30 p.m., Kamouraska will come alive around the Centre d’art.

The percussive rhythms of the Mississippi Sound System will set the pace for the weekend. Contemporary dancers from Fleuve | Espace danse will rock the landscape, while DJ Philomène transforms the village into a summer dance floor. Street food trucks and a bar will delight the taste buds.

The evening will conclude in a magical atmosphere at the Saint-Louis-de-Kamouraska church, where Ingrid St-Pierre will offer a moment of grace and intimacy, buoyed by the beauty of the setting.

On Saturday, July 12, head to Place de l’Expo in Saint-Pascal.

In the afternoon, children and adults alike will discover a recreational and artistic space: show-workshop with Josée Bourgoin, Maxime Éthier, Annabelle Guimond-Simard and Emmanuella Razgui-Alain, delirious clowns with Loïc Breuzin and his accomplice, and twirling circus with Andréanne Thiboutot.

There’s plenty to laugh, move, eat and enjoy. At the end of the day, Kourage (Benoît Ouellet) will deliver a festive rock show, followed by a DJ set on the legendary Mixbus with DJ DORO.

On Sunday, July 13, the festival comes to a close in Saint-Pacôme, at the summit of Belvédère de la Croix, with a breathtaking view of the river and mountains. There, Christine Beaulieu will present her documentary theater Les saumons de la Mitis.

Afterwards, William Guay and his string orchestra will plunge the audience into a neoclassical atmosphere, and slammer Louis Lahaye Roy will close the ball with his gripping texts.

Local flavors and a bar will be available on site, so you can savor until the last minute.
