Dance with a swirling crowd, browse the exhibits and workshops, or relax on the grass in the shade of seventy foot oak and maple trees, enjoying the cool breeze off the nearby river. The Festival will take place on the grounds of the Douglas Hospital in Verdun; a large wooded expanse bordering the St. Lawrence only 10 minutes from Downtown Montréal. This well-kept 22-acre green space will provide a fitting backdrop to the event by evoking simpler times and pleasures.
