In the spirit of solidarity, which is one of its most fundamental values, Desjardins has been backing the Festival
since the very beginning. This year once again, this tremendous partnership will bring you the nine hot air
balloon flights, the lift-off area, the Aérostation and both the “Meet the pilots” and “Look into the heart of a hot
air balloon” activities. As well, Desjardins will once again offer special access to the best views of the lift-offs
thanks to its Desjardins path and observatory. This is what you call a partnership that is as solidly bound as a hot
air balloon to its basket.
The SAQ brings you a very special selection from among its thousands of products. You will get to sample its
wares throughout the Festival at its bistros, two of which will be set up with terraces, food and an awning, as
well as a view of the Loto-Québec Stage. A glass in one hand is a sure way to add to your day.
This year once again, Hydro Québec will give you the opportunity to discover several up-and-coming artists, and
will present some well-known artists to which only this stage can do justice. Thanks to this partnership, you can
look forward to some delightful and true quality moments. Stay tuned for the announcement of the hot new
program lineup.
A big thank you to our institutional partners!
This year once again, Michel Quesnel, pharmacien will make it possible to wrap up the day at the Festival in
style. Royal Pyrotechnie, champion of the 5th Philippine International Pyromusical Competition, will dazzle the
community with its spectacular fireworks. A show that will dazzle kids of all ages on Saturday night. In addition,
Michel Quesnel brings you the infant care area in support of families.
Tim Hortons is always on hand to give volunteers and festival-goers a little help waking up in the morning, and a
little boost or warmth when they need it during the day, with our locals’ favourite coffee.
The Buckingham Chrysler Jeep Dodge Fiat dealer is making it possible for the organizers and volunteers to get
around more easily during the five days of the Festival. Vehicles will be on display and sold by a team of qualified
staff, who will be more than happy to answer your questions.
Pepsico is the way to go when you need to rehydrate during the Festival. Serve yourself one of their worldrenowned products such as Pepsi, Gatorade or Aquafina, on its own or with your meal. These products will be
available at all food concessions.
Molson Canadian will be on hand throughout the Festival. Relax and refresh yourself with a Coors Light or
Molson Canadian at the different bars around the site, or at the Molson Bar, new this year and featuring a
terrace.
The Festival will be fast and efficient to set up thanks to Simplex, the official supplier of tools and equipment,
and a solid and reliable family business.
The Festival offers magnificent rides in the Mega Mitsubishi hot air balloon all year-round. Soar over the national
capital region winter or summer, and discover the thrill of this unique experience!
Try a Breyers desert as a refreshment at any time during the Festival. On those hot days, what could be more
delightful than ice cream in your favourite flavours?
We are lucky to have the Quebec leader in supermarkets, Metro mon épicier, join us for a second year. With its
fresh foods from every part of the province, Metro’s many products promise some tasty experiences.
Du haut de
A new partnership that is starting off with a bang by giving us the opportunity to present an evening of terrific
entertainment! The Saturday night show will be presented by none other than the pillar of the Outaouais’ real
estate world: Royal LePage – Vallée de l’Outaouais.
A big thank you to our other partners!
