Festival La Virée Trad
Anchored in the heart of Carleton-sur-Mer, La Virée Trad festival is an emblematic cultural event celebrating living heritage in all its forms.
Since 2001, this gathering, inclusive of all generations, has brought the Gaspé Peninsula to life through the rhythm of traditional music, dance, and storytelling with Gaspésian, Acadian, and Québécois influences.
As a true community-driven hub for intangible heritage, La Virée Trad offers a unique space for exchange between the public and tradition bearers. The festival highlights the richness of local know-how through high-level artistic performances, activities focused on traditional arts and crafts, and the promotion of local products.
Driven by the presenter Maximum 90, the event actively contributes to the region’s cultural vibrancy, strengthens collective identity, and fosters social vitality. Eco-responsible and deeply rooted in its community, the festival invites festival-goers, enthusiasts, and curious visitors of all ages every autumn to experience an authentic, friendly, and warm atmosphere set against an exceptional natural backdrop between sea and mountains.
